Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal
Verily,
the story Biff has to tell is a miraculous one, filled with remarkable
journeys, magic, healings, kung fu, corpse reanimations, demons, and hot
babes - whose considerable charms fall to Biff to sample, since Josh is
forbidden the pleasures of the flesh. (There are worse things than
having a best friend who is chaste and a chick magnet!) And, of course,
there is danger at every turn, since a young man struggling to
understand his godhood, who is incapable of violence or telling anything
less than the truth, is certain to piss some people off. Luckily, Biff
is a whiz at lying and cheating - which helps get his divine pal and him
out of more than one jam. And while Josh's great deeds and mission of
peace will ultimately change the world, Biff is no slouch himself,
blessing humanity with enduring contributions of his own, like sarcasm
and cafe latte. Even the considerable wiles and devotion of the Savior's
pal may not be enough to divert Joshua from his tragic destiny. But
there's no one who loves Josh more - except maybe 'Maggie,' Mary of
Magdala - and Biff isn't about to let his extraordinary pal suffer and
ascend without a fight.
