Just finished reading this.
It's freaking hilarious!

The birth of Jesus has been well chronicled, as have his glorious teachings, acts, and divine sacrifice after his thirtieth birthday. But no one knows about the early life of the Son of God, the missing years -- except Biff, the Messiahs best bud, who has been resurrected to tell the story in the divinely hilarious yet heartfelt work "reminiscent of Vonnegut and Douglas Adams" (Philadelphia Inquirer).
Verily, the story Biff has to tell is a miraculous one, filled with remarkable journeys, magic, healings, kung fu, corpse reanimations, demons, and hot babes. Even the considerable wiles and devotion of the Saviors pal may not be enough to divert Joshua from his tragic destiny. But theres no one who loves Josh more -- except maybe "Maggie," Mary of Magdala -- and Biff isnt about to let his extraordinary pal suffer and ascend without a fight.

That one sounds like fun.
I had started Practical Demonkeeping but it never hooked me. I will try again one day.

That's his first book, and IMO probably his worst. The other books have the same style and humour but they seem a lot more refined. The book that got me hooked on all things Moore was "Fluke". But any of his more recent ones are great too, as is Lamb.
They are short easy reads with usually a couple of good laugh out loud moments.
