Is that a miniature Jesus speaking to me?

Apparently one of the hot gifts this Christmas season is a talking Jesus! The 12-inch Jesus Messenger of Faith talking action figure is selling like crazy at retailers across the country.

The doll, manufactured by Valencia, Calif.-based One2believe, is part of the Messengers of Faith series. Other figures in the series include talking Moses, Mary, David, Esther and Noah. The company has sold more than 20,000 dolls in the series. (Jesus is the most popular -- go Jesus!)

According to the Star Tribune, the Jesus Messenger of Faith figure tells stories about David and Goliath or feeding the 5,000 with loaves and fishes in addition to speaking Bible verses such as John 3:16 and Mark 12:30-31.
