Biff jesus fav series#
Have you read every single book by all of your favorite authors? Do they not write fast enough to satisfy you? Are you craving a new series to fall in love with? Try these three strategies for finding a new Favorite Author!ġ. A warning though: There are two violent and disturbing rape scenes, so if you’re sensitive to such depictions it may be best to avoid this one. This book was a fascinating, faced paced read through a somewhat familiar, and in many ways alien, world, showing the possible outcome of forces that are in effect today. It is told through the perspective of several characters, including an Economic hitman for one of the Biotech on an undercover mission, a captain for the enforcement wing of the Environment Ministry, and Emiko, a genetically modified “Windup” girl. The story takes place in Thailand, which is below sea level and protected from flooding by levees and pumps. These companies are constantly on the search for new sources of original seed stock as most other. This Hugo and Nebula Award winning novel depicts the world 200 years into the future where climate change has raised the oceans and drastically changed the landscape, carbon fuel sources have been depleted, and biotech companies control the remaining food crops which have been ravaged by bioterrorism, plagues, and mutant pests, and maintain this control through private armies and economic hitmen. But you read that part already.For a look at how the world might be in the future, check out The Windup Girl by Paolo Bacigalupi. If you’re curious, I would conditionally recommend it. I had a good time reading this, and I was pleasantly surprised by how much I actually liked it. I probably missed some things, but it was fun to see where Joshua gets the ideas for things he later puts in parables and sermons. It was kind of fun to play “spot the scripture.” I’m a Christian, but no one would ever accuse me of being a Biblical scholar. Well, Joshua is busy learning, but Biff gets up to all kinds of misadventures.
Biff jesus fav full#
Then there was a whole passage of Biff asking questions like, “How many peeps in a posse, how much booty before baby got back, do you have to be all that to get all up in that, and do I need to be dope and phat to be da bomb or can I just be ‘stupid’?”īiff and Joshua spend a lot of their time on a quest, and their adventures were full of laughs. My favorite part is when he becomes a wrestling fan and starts talking smack.
Biff jesus fav tv#
He’s the one making Biff write his gospel as they sit in a modern-day hotel room, and his TV addiction is hilarious! He doesn’t understand that soap operas aren’t real, so he cries and gets upset when bad things happen to the characters. Oh! And he taught me a new word: doofuscosity. He can always get Joshua laughing when he falls into a funk. He spends his entire life following Joshua around and trying to make sure that he stays out of trouble. He was a horny, cheerful smartass who could teach dogs a thing or two about loyalty. I loved Biff! I wanted to reach into the pages and smack him upside the head a few times, but usually when that happened another character stepped in and smacked him for me.
That’s the best I can do as far as the is-it-offensive-to-Christians thing. But he does have fun, love, and learn from people from many countries and religions.
If it had been, I would have had to put the book down. Joshua is still absolutely the Son of God, without sin, sent to save mankind from our sins. But I do have lines that I don’t want to have crossed, and Moore could cross them easily.” I was okay with what he wrote here. But there might be a few people out there like me, who are thinking, “I’m pretty open-minded. I think if you’re going to be offended by this book, the title will turn you off right away. I know what I’m thinking but I’m having trouble finding the right words. Christopher Moore has fun imagining what exactly Jesus–or Joshua, as Moore chooses to use the Hebrew name–might have gotten up to in the in-between years. Oh, there’s the one story about him teaching in the temple when he was 12, but other than that, he was born and then he started his ministry around the age of 30. There are roughly 30 years of Jesus’s life that are unaccounted for.
