Gain Access The Last Days Of Jesus: His Life And Times Crafted By Bill O'Reilly Compiled As Softcover

was an interesting book based on the Lord Jesus, I love the timeline and how Mr, O'Reilly literally took the reader from the beginning of our savior's life till the end of his days here on earth, Of, course the good news was to follow for all of the human race who believes, Nicely done. A good read, a good review of the life of Jesus, and along with it, a few facts I had not learned yet, Easy to listen to, comforting yet authoritative reader, Bill O'Reilly reads the intro, and I respect his researching abilities, and how he investigates to find the truth,

He sets the scene of life in those days, and lays it out nicely via narratives of Luke,

Paul, Mark, and John mostly.


Mostly deals with Jesus as a man, and not as Jesus as a messiah,

Interesting, and well worth the read, O'Reilly wrote the story in a way that informed the reader of the area's culture, the inhabitants' beliefs and governmental systems, and local customs, Some explanations cleared up questions I had from Bible readings, This was a truly interesting book which painted a good picture of the personalities of the important historical figures, Definitely a recommendation to anyone who is seeking an easily read book of the times, Engaging, educational, historical and unapologeticin The Last Days of Jesus, with no holds barred, Bill OReilly as an investigative historian tells the story of the person of Jesus and the struggle of good versus evil in this book for youth.
Positively worth reading.
A version of O'Reilly's Killing Jesus: a History more for the younger reader with tons of illustrations and samples of architecture, maps, clothing and artifacts of the time.
The author intends to reveal the actual man as can be inferred by historic source and knowledge of the time period rather than discuss the religious icon that Jesus of Nazareth became.


If you've read the Killing version, you basically have the same story but a little more sanitized and with more illustrations and interruptive pages to provide insight in some aspects of local culture and history.


Interesting background and historical references to life of Jesus Christ, Photos and illustrations along with short chapters make it especially valuable for young readers, I can't say I'm the biggest fan of Bill O'Reilly as a TV personality, But as a historical author, I simply love his writing style, Yes, I recognize that some may pick up a book like The Last Days of Jesus, or for that matter any of the other books by O'Reilly, and consider it a watered down version of history.
This is particularly the case if you have a greater depth of knowledge about the subject in this case, Jesus than the author is trying to convey in the book.
But let's face it, sometimes we just want to enjoy and immerse ourselves in the reading, rather than getting bogged down in the weeds, You want more detail, read the bible, I did find that some parts of the book caused me to go back and reread the scriptures, That's a good thing, right Not everyone has time nor inclination to read the bible every night, although many like myself feel that is a lofty goal.
And yes, I'm sure there's a degree of poetic license which took place in writing the book, But nothing that was said struck me as an outright falsehood, Rather, it seems that in some cases inferences were made and, occasionally, the author made statements about what someone might have been thinking at the time, which clearly is not really known unless it was written in scripture.


I truly enjoyed the book, It's a quick read. I also feel it's a great primer for that reader who doesn't have a great knowledge of scriptures, but who would like to dip their toes in the water.
Good information, easy read. I believe this book is meant for junior high to high schoolers but I liked it and it confirmed some of the things I saw on my Holy Land pilgrimage last December.
Well written historical perspective of Jesuss life and the culture of his time! The pictures and map really brought it all to life, In the past, Ive found Bill OReillys writing style to be hard to engage with, However, he redeemed himself
In this book, This book seems to be a copy of Killing Jesus except photos and artwork have been added, I did not see much new materials here from the book with Martin Dugard

Makes me wonder what is going on:Did O'Reilly republish the prior book and drop Martin Dugard for some reason What would reason be Seems like it should logically be a violation of copyright.


Did O'Reilly want to appeal to the public who love pictures these days

Did O'Reilly need more money That would be hard to believe.


At any rate, I was expecting a volumeand got severely disappointed, If you have ever been curious about Jesus and wondered about his life and death either historically or spiritually or both, this may be the book for you.
O'Reilly gives a factual and detailed account of Jesus' final days in the social and cultural context of the time period, If you are already a believer, you will appreciate the historical details, If you are simply wanting to know more about the historical man named Jesus and curious as to why so many people still follow him centuries later, then this account of Jesus' final days may give you some answers.
I would have preferred to given the book,stars, yet could not bring myself to give it, What I liked: the easy to read format enriched with informative illustrations, maps, and historical timelines, The author described the culture, regional lifestyles, religious beliefs, and political issues of the time period very well, What I didn't like: though a Catholic, the author didn't use a Catholic translation of the Bible for reference, He said that Jesus died inAD, which is not correct, Mary Magdalene is referred to as a prostitute, which is often alleged but no proof exists that it was indeed the case, The title of the book is not a good choice, as the author covers the entire life of Christ, Much of the story told by the author is shared with a great deal of poetic license, filling in the blanks left by historical texts and Scriptures with a likely storyline.


This is a good book for adolescents and up, but is no replacement for Sacred Scripture and good catechesis, Excellent! Learned a lot! Meh, It was informative but not exciting, I didnt feel like I was right there or anything, It was completely nonreligious, which isnt a bad thing, I dont think Ive ever read anything about Jesus that was purely historical, This is the version for kids, so perhaps a reading of the fuller version would be more interesting to me, Two thousand years ago, Jesus walked across Galilee everywhere he traveled he gained followers, His contemporaries are familiar historical figures: Julius Caesar, Caesar Augustus, Herod the Great, Pontius Pilate, It was an era of oppression, when every man, woman, and child answered to the brutal rule of Rome, In this world, Jesus lived, and in this volatile political and historical context, Jesus diedand changed the world forever,
Adapted from Bill O'Reilly's bestselling historical thriller Killing Jesus, and richly illustrated, The Last Days of Jesus is a riveting, factbased account of the life and times of Jesus.
Overall an easy historic perspective , the title is somewhat misleading is over half the book that was his early life, I did not see the history part, it was the same as reading the bible, E At the onset this book says it will not mention that Jesus is the Messiah, Bill O'Reilly is a professing Christian, so I'm not sure why he was reluctant to state the truth in this manner, instead he tells the events from a historical point of view.
And even still, there is no doubt in my mind that Jesus is the Messiah, And from the historical accounts themselves, there is no denying, I appreciate that facts were shared and I pray those reading who are still skeptic will face the historical truths and come to the same realization that Jesus IS the Christ.
