LOVE LOVE LOVE this book, LOL funny. I grew up with 4 younger brothers and the friendship between Bif and Joshua is spot on for a boy growing up in modern times and I am sure was not much different in the time of Jesus. Mr. Moore treated Joshua with reverence and respect, he was never the butt of the joke, that was all on Biff and some of the other Apostles, Romans and Pharisees. You must have a sense of humor to read this book and you might just get a bit butt hurt if you are a rigid Bible toting conservative Christian. As Mr. Moore stated, this is not meant to be a historical reference but a possible, semi plausible, might have been kinda this almost accurate look at what it may have been like to grow up the Son of God. Completely funny, tug at your heartstrings, sad at times and even thought provoking good time. I was truly sad the story ended, but as you know, it did end the way the Bible said it did.
