| 1 | ''[[Literature/LambTheGospelAccordingToBiff Lamb]]'', by Creator/ChristopherMoore. It's the brilliant, hilarious, thought-provoking story of the life of Jesus, as told by his degenerate best friend. [[ItWasHisSled You]] ''[[ItWasHisSled know]]'' [[ForegoneConclusion what has to happen at the end]]. It will ''still'' break your heart. |

| 3 | * The scene where Joshua (Jesus) comes back to the monastery [[spoiler:after finding that the Yeti, whom he felt was the only being in the world that understood what being the only one of his kind felt like, had died in a cave-in, alone, and Joshua wasn't there to save him or even comfort him as he succumbed to death]]. This is one of the most heart-wrenching scenes in the entire book. |
| 4 | * "No more blood. No more blood. No more blood." |
| 5 | * The symbolism of the lamb/sacrifice and how [[ArcWords "lamb"]] shows up repeatedly. The scene with young Biff at the temple comes to mind, as does the apostles' celebration of Passover. |
| 6 | -->"Why are we having Passover with [a different sect of Judaism]?\ |
| 7 | "Because at their Passover, they don't kill a lamb." |
| 8 | * Biff's reaction to Judas' betrayal, especially considering that Josh didn't give Judas a choice in betraying him and Judas didn't really ''want to'' in the first place. |
| 9 | * Biff and Mary's plan and hope to save Joshua at the end, and how it didn't work out. |
| 10 | ** [[spoiler:Biff's suicide out of grief over Joshua's death, '''especially''' since you know that Josh will get better but his best friend will miss the best part of the story.]] |
