The birth of Jesus has been well chronicled, as have his glorious teachings, act
s, and divine sacrifice after his thirtieth birthday. But no one knows about the
early life of the Son of God, the missing years - except Biff, the Messiah's be
st bud, who has been resurrected to tell the story in this divinely hilarious, y
et heartfelt work 'reminiscent of Vonnegut and Douglas Adams' (Philadelphia Inqu
irer). Verily, the story Biff has to tell is a miraculous one, filled with remar
kable journeys, magic, healings, kung fu, corpse reanimations, demons, and hot b
abes, Even the considerable wiles and devotion of the Saviour's pal may not be e
nough to divert Joshua from his tragic destiny. But there's no one who loves Jos
h more - except maybe 'Maggie,' Mary of Magdala - and Biff isn't about to let hi
s extraordinary pal suffer and ascend without a fight.
