DESCRIPTION:
At least the numerous illustrations have some merit. For an alternative, try Lois Rock's The Lion Encyclopedia of Jesus (Lion, 2011), for younger readers, which does an excellent job of tying Jesus's life to modern Christian practices.—Ann W. O'Reilly also states that Jesus's miracles were "stories" or "puzzling events" and that Jesus only claimed to be God's son but was actually Joseph's child, which may offend Christians. For instance, the "Note to Readers" asserts this is a "fact-based book about Jesus the man," but the book combines information with supposition and a lot of storytelling. O'Reilly's audience is uncertain.

It was an era of oppression, when every man, woman, and child answered to the brutal rule of Rome. Two thousand years ago, Jesus walked across Galilee; everywhere he traveled he gained followers
He is also the anchor of The O'Reilly Factor, the highest-rated cable news show in the country. Bill O'Reilly is a former high-school history teacher and the author of several bestselling books, including Lincoln's Last Days, Kennedy's Last Days, and The Last Days of Jesus.
Another winner I have a very deep faith in God and his son Jesus Christ so I was a bit leery of this book at first, but like his other historical well researched books, I'm a bit protective of what I read and accept as truth. I couldn't put it down. Thank you Mr. OReilly. You didn't let me down.. The life of Jesus was followed closely with what is taught throughout the Bible. Betty Reisenweber The book seems to follow closely with the Bible.. A good Bruce Frankson Well written. Informative. A good read
