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.

Moved to the top of my favorite book list

At first, I was a little offended by this book. But after telling myself it is fiction, I found it to be very fun and hilarious. I loved it.

Biff is a Great Read!

A well crafted mixture of historical fact and fiction with a heavy helping of humor and a dash of irreverence. The blend somehow manages to respect the long-held image of Christ while creating a believable character at the same time.

Not for those who believe the Bible is absolute truth....

I have read this book about three times and it never fails to entertain me. Now, if you are thinking I am not a Christian- you are wrong. I am- but I choose to see this book as an "interpretation" of the greatest, and saddest story every told. I choose to keep in mind that Mr. Moore took a chance at recreating Christ's lost years. What strikes me most about the book was how beautifully Moore intertwined the teachings and lessons of Jesus so it did not take away from the importance of Christ's life. While Biff commits all kinds of absurdities, Jesus takes the opportunity to learn from Biff's actions as well as the best of what religion in that day had to offer. I liked that the story had Jesus' beliefs stemming from different parts of the world and different ways of thinking. To me, this creates an atmosphere built on tolerance, which we know our world could stand some more of. The end saddens me every time as we see Biff struggle to keep his friend alive, for Biff is nothing without the savior by his side. It's a story of friendship, love, compassion, lessons and the belief that we are all- in the end, human.
