With all of the non-fiction Jesus books that are floating around it’s easy to forget that there are some wonderful fiction books about him as well. Take, for instance, Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff, Christ’s Childhood Pal
by Christopher Moore. This is a wonderful book that is told from the perspective of Biff, a friend of Jesus as he was growing up. Christopher Moore is a very talented and funny writer. Initially, I was worried about how this story would be told but as long as you have a sense of humor you don’t really have to worry about anything. There’s not much in the book that would be considered “sacreligious” but it is extremely funny nonetheless. Follow Jesus and his buddy Biff as they go on spiritual quests, invent lattes, and kick some butt when needed. If you’re getting tired of all of the “serious” Jesus stuff that’s around right now, pick this book up. You’ll laugh out loud and wonder why you didn’t buy it sooner.
