LOVED this book. I grew up with a strict religious background (though I currently am not a churchy person) and always wondered what happened to Jesus for those 20 some years he's unaccounted for. Now I know :). There were so many times where this book had me laughing out loud; however, I don't think most of my religious friends would find this book as entertaining as I did. Seems "irreverant" has the potential to rub many people the wrong way....not to mention Jesus finding his grounding in eastern religious practices. If you're looking for an entertaining story full of imagination and can handle Jesus Christ as the subject of a hilarious fictional novel, by all means read this book! If you're easily offended and defensive of your beliefs, I'd maybe try something else (well, unless you're the type of person who likes to rant about the downfall of family values and religion in this country, then by all means this could be good fodder for you).
