Question:

What is the comedy book where someone close to Jesus is reincarnated in the modern day?

I picked this book up at someones house when I slept over once and read the first chapter and loved it! I think the main character is Jesus's best friend or brother or unknown disciple but he's a real prankster and rude as well, and he is reincarnated in the modern day. From there the book jumps back and forth from retelling the jesus story through this guys eyes, and telling of his modern day adventure and why God has chosen to reincarnate him. I want to read this so bad! Does someone know what it is called?
