Often times before I read a book, l stare at the cover to see if I can figure out what it wants to tell me. On the cover "Jesus" is casually stepping off the cross. He is slender, looks effeminate, unharmed except for a few spots on the hands and feet, and he is wearing an open blouse with a curious expression. This cover tells me that the fixed mental picture that some have of Jesus - will be questioned in this book.This book fascinated me because I love when an author thinks outside the box and does it well.  Society has a way of whitewashing historical people and events so that they fit into a nice fairy tale and makes everyone feel good.  I can tell you that this book is not going to make some people feel good, and in fact it may piss some people off and have them questioning like the main character of Tony did, if they should have paid better attention in church.Speaking of the main character Tony, I found myself rooting for him throughout this story. I was glad at the end he had his Aha  moment and that it did not come from having a drink.Really...really...enjoyed the book.  Lots of "Aha" and "Uh-un" moments.
