"Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal" by Christopher Moore

It was one of the first books which I’ve exchanged on the Polish website similar to BookMooch. It was waiting quite long for being read ;)

It’s a nice, funny, mostly light story in a form of new Gospel, written by a friend of Jesus, who was vitalized by an angel to create it. It focus mostly on the years, where are not really well known and well described in the Bible, wonder why ;) So, we’re getting to know Jesus childhood, growing up to his teenager years and then being an adult. On the way from Jesus childhood to his last days he has incredible amount of adventures –learning how to heal people, how to kick demons from them etc. When both of them are teenagers they decide to go and find 3 wise men, who were welcoming Jesus after he was born. So, they spend years and years on finding them and learning new knowledge and skills from them (with a lot of funny and not funny adventures.
Jesus in this book Is close to being an “ordinary person” – he has his doubts, fears, sins, temptations and so on. He is funny, sarcastic, with a sense of humor. You could have a pal like he :)

Of course, it’s just a funny fiction story, but it’s well written, keeping the attention of the reader all the time, giving a lot of fun while reading. I recommend reading it :)
