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

I think this was a fun story. I think it has moments where it felt a little long in places, but there were many humorous moments for sure. I don't much about religion, but this was easy enough to follow and I understood most of the references.

I'm a pastor so keenly aware of theological "correctness" and this book was consistently respectful of Jesus and surprisingly enlightening! Also, and this is key - hilariously insightful. Curiously moving, too. Five out of five stars from me! Warning to conservative friends: this book creatively uses blasphemy, sex, and crude humor, too. Please suspend judgement and keep reading if you normally object - it's worth it.

I first read Lamb 13 years ago and have reread it many, many times since. Absolutely hilarious novel that was, or is, on a banned book list-- just because it makes you pee your pants laughing at Joshua and his pals and religion in general. Eye-opening, insightful book that people just might learn a thing or 2, all while ROTFL! Do yourself a favor and read Lamb... very, very worth it!!
