My Thought:
Oh this one is good. As a Chrsitian I am not offended and appreciate Christaohper Moore's efort to tell a story and ot blaspheme or portray Jesus in a non-Christ like manner. What a great imaginatino though to pull this all together. And I am glad to know what the "H" stands for in Jesus H. Christ.
Backcover Details
The birth of Jesus has been well chronicled, as have his glorious teachings, acts, and divine sacrifice after his thirtieth birthday. But no one knows about the early life of the Son of God, the missing years -- except Biff, the Messiah's best bud, who has been resurrected to tell the story in the divinely hilarious yet heartfelt work "reminiscent of Vonnegut and Douglas Adams" (Philadelphia Inquirer).
Verily, the story Biff has to tell is a miraculous one, filled with remarkable journeys, magic, healings, kung fu, corpse reanimations, demons, and hot babes. Even the considerable wiles and devotion of the Savior's pal may not be enough to divert Joshua from his tragic destiny. But there's no one who loves Josh more -- except maybe "Maggie," Mary of Magdala -- and Biff isn't about to let his extraordinary pal suffer and ascend without a fight.

This book has been forwarded on to my Father in Tucson.
Just received it from SaguaroL. Have not read it yet. Will go in the To Be Read pile.
This book was a refreshing and laugh out loud adventure. I haven't read a book this good in a long time and will definately refer this to all of my book reading friends. Happy Reading!

I loved this book! I laughed out loud and thoroughly enjoyed the adventures of Biff and Jesus. I will be passing the book on to another book reading friend. This one will definately get a lot of mileage... both in reading and traveling.
