The birth of Jesus has been well chronicled, as have his glorious teachings, acts, and divine sacrifice after his thirtieth birthday. But nobody knows about the first life from the Kid of God, the missing years-except Biff, the Messiah’s greatest bud, that has been resurrected to inform the story in this divinely hilarious, yet heartfelt work ‘reminiscent of Vonnegut and Douglas Adams’ (Philadelphia Inquirer).

Verily, the storyplot Biff must show is a miraculous one, filled with remarkable journeys, magic, healings, kung fu, corpse reanimations, demons, and hot babes. Also the considerable wiles and devotion of the Savior’s pal may not be plenty of to divert Joshua from his tragic destiny. But there is no one who adores Josh more-except maybe ‘Maggie,’ Mary of Magdala-and Biff isn’t about to let his outstanding pal suffer and ascend without a fight.
