An alternate cover for this ASIN can be found here.
His afterlife is perfect. But things are about to change.
Jesus Christ enjoys choice tee times, biweekly psychoanalysis, and a spot atop the afterlife’s Ten Best-Dressed List. But God is coming and no one knows why, least of all his biblical son. Determined to stake his claim as King of Kings before Dad arrives, Jesus begs Lucifer to return him to earth as a mortal man of exquisite style and impeccable taste.
Duped by Lucifer and crucified by the media, Jesus must overcome an angel-winged supermodel, two thousand years of pent-up desires, and an all-powerful, paternity-denying Father determined to eliminate religion from existence. But when you’re trying to change the mind of the universe incarnate, turning the other cheek isn’t an option.
Into Temptation is T. E. Whitaker’s irreverent father-son tale of biblical proportions. If you like laughing at religion, if you think the answer to the ultimate question of life is 42, or if you’ve pondered what Jesus and Mohammed might discuss at a hookah bar, you’ll love T. E. Whitaker’s Into Temptation.

Talk about a play on the Bible. This book is an interesting twist on biblical characters and existence. A very well-written book that had me laughing.This book i enjoyed reading. A must read.
gave-up
September 17, 2022This is one of those books that tries to be funny and hip and fails.
I read lots of books that parody religions; the Clovenhoof series for instance, so I am not at all offended when diverse religious figures all behave oddly.
But this book just tries to hard and fails.
The language reminded me of this
It's too clever by 1/2

The Architect : The answer is simple. You are the eventuality of an anomaly. You are inexorably seeking a sedulant probability.
Cindy : Sedulant? I uh...
The Architect : [flipping through a thesaurus] Grotesquery?... No?... What about, contingent affirmation?... That's gotta mean somethin...
