Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal

by Christopher Moore

Biff, Jesus Christ's childhood best friend, fills in the missing years with a tale of miraculous journeys, kung fu training, demons, resurrections, and the considerable effort required to keep the Messiah on track. Moore's irreverent comedy treats the gospels as buddy narrative and finds both affection and absurdity in scripture.
