Purely fiction, but this is supposed to be a story of Jesus' (Known by his "real name" Joshua, nicknamed Josh) written by his best friend (BFF, called Biff). I am a Christian and I loved this book. Remember Jesus was fully God and fully man. This book pertains mainly to his human side, as a boy. Although all through the book he claims to be the Son of God. If you are easily offended by humor in the fictitious life of Jesus, like when he healed a lizard by putting it in his mouth, better not read this book. This author writes a disclaimer at the end of the book , if your faith can be challenged by a book of fiction, maybe you have a little more praying to do. There are some deep thought herein. There is also some near profanity. But it helped me see what Jesus had to go through, from his human side. Yes, I'd recommend it. But don't take it too seriously.
