Christopher Moore
Everyone knows about the immaculate conception and the crucifixion. But what happened to Jesus between the manger and the Sermon on the Mount? In this hilarious and bold novel, the acclaimed Christopher Moore shares the greatest story never told: the life of Christ as seen by his boyhood pal, Biff. Just what was Jesus doing during the many years that have gone unrecorded in the Bible? Biff was there at his side, and now after two thousand years, he shares those good, bad, ugly, and miraculous times. Screamingly funny, audaciously fresh, Lamb rivals the best of Tom Robbins and Carl Hiaasen, and is sure to please this gifted writer’s fans and win him legions more.

"Funniest book of all time. Humanizes Jesus, takes you on an adventure, and was very, very refreshing for my ex catholic self. Who is deeply curious about the man Jesus was and might have been, millennia of legends and mark of god aside."

"Most of the books by Christopher Moore are a good time"

"This read is cheeky, irreverent, and surprisingly heartfelt. Moore does a great job of humanizing Christ through the eyes of his fictional childhood friend, Biff. What I especially liked was how the book reimagined familiar parables by weaving in the political and cultural context of the time—but in a way that was funny and approachable, not heavy-handed. The epilogue still managed to surprise me, even knowing how the story would ultimately end. This was a fun, thoughtful read with a lot of heart."

"Love this book so much I have 3 copies and the audio book in 2 forms. The more you know about religions the more hilarious it is. It like a joke ever 2 sentences, sometimes every line. "
