Everyone is familiar with the immaculate conception and the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. However, the events that transpired between his birth in the manger and the Sermon on the Mount remain largely unrecorded. In his hilarious and bold novel, acclaimed author Christopher Moore unveils the greatest story never told: the life of Christ as seen through the eyes of his boyhood companion, Biff.
What exactly was Jesus doing during the many unrecorded years in the Bible? Biff, who was by Jesus' side throughout those formative times, now shares the good, the bad, the ugly, and the miraculous moments that occurred over the course of two thousand years. This screamingly funny and audaciously fresh narrative rivals the best works of Tom Robbins and Carl Hiaasen, and is sure to delight Moore's existing fans while captivating a new legion of readers.
The novel's unique perspective offers a humorous and irreverent take on the life of Jesus, exploring the lesser-known aspects of his journey. Biff's firsthand account provides a refreshing and unconventional glimpse into the Messiah's development, challenging the traditional narratives and inviting readers to engage with the story in a new and engaging way.
Through Biff's vivid storytelling, the reader is transported back in time, witnessing the trials and tribulations, the joys and the laughter that shaped the young Jesus. The narrative is a masterful blend of historical fiction, comedy, and spiritual exploration, seamlessly weaving together the sacred and the profane to create a captivating and thought-provoking reading experience.
At its core, "Lamb" is a celebration of friendship, a exploration of the human condition, and a testament to the enduring power of faith. Christopher Moore's unique voice and keen sense of humor breathe new life into a timeless tale, challenging readers to approach the familiar story from a fresh perspective and to find the extraordinary in the ordinary.
With its bold and unapologetic approach, "Lamb" promises to delight, shock, and entertain readers, leaving them with a newfound appreciation for the complexities of the human experience and the enduring mysteries of the divine. This novel is a testament to the author's remarkable talent and his ability to craft a truly unforgettable story that will linger in the minds of its readers long after the final page is turned.
