Format: Paperback
The title of this book is appropriate because I found this book really implants in one's mind a real vision of what it must have been like to be at the foot of the cross 2000 years ago.
It is a very quick read even when doing so prayerfully, since the imagery provided on each page truly makes one feel he is right there. One can feel the heat, hear the shouts of derision, see the flies as they buzz overhead.
The book beautifully describes the events from the Last Supper through the Crucifixion in a loving representation of what Jesus might have seen as he was raised aloft on the cross. As you read this prayerfully, place yourself at the foot of this cross and be with Him as you witness the vista of Jerusalem through His eyes.

Format: Paperback
In Fr. Sertillanges' spiritual classic - the reader is transported to the Holy Land in a way which the reader will not easily forget. The reader sees, through the eyes of Christ, the wedding feast at Cana, his baptism, the Upper Room, Gethsemane, and the Cross.
Fr. Sertillanges, who lived in Jerusalem, presents the Passion of Christ with details that make the events come alive.
Originally published in French in 1930, this book has stood the tests of time. Sophia Institute's version is highly readable.
A retreat, a pilgrimage, and a meditation all wrapped in one - this book should be required reading, along with the Gospels, every Lent.
I cannot recommend this book highly enough.

This book makes you feel like you are there as Jesus is crucified. You can almost feel the suffering as He weeps in the Garden or the ache as He carries His cross. Very powerful. Should be recommended reading.

It is a very quick read even when doing so prayerfully, since the imagery provided on each page truly makes one feel he is right there. One can feel the heat, hear the shouts of derision, see the flies as they buzz overhead.
The book beautifully describes the events surrounding the Crucifixion in a loving representation of what Jesus might have seen as he was raised aloft on the cross. As you read this prayerfully, place yourself at the foot of this cross and be with Him as you witness the vista of Jerusalem through His eyes.

Fr. Sertillanges not only brings to life the last hours of Jesus' life, but he does so in language that rises to the poetic. This is a perfect book to read during Lent to help us see Jesus' sacrifice for us as He might have seen it through His eyes.

Father A. G. Sertillanges lived in the Jerusalem area for many years. Because of his knowledge of landmarks, he places the reader into the eyes of Jesus as they sweep over the Jerusalem landscape from His vantage point on the Cross. As His eyes touch on the individual points of interest such as the Cenacle (sight of the Last Supper) Fr. Sertilanges has Jesus recall the events that have taken place and the words that were said in that spot. He draws upon the Gospels and also his own imagination of what Jesus is thinking as He recalls each event. It is truly a remarkable way of looking at the last days of Jesus and His last hours on the Cross. I read this book as part of my Lenten devotions for 2014 but think it would be beneficial to anyone seeking to strengthen their faith at any time of the year. It would also be a great book to be read by a Scriptural book club. It has my most highest recommendation.

This books adds incite to this whole crucifixion story__ providing food for thought and reflection regarding this most important event. What Jesus did see in the end, and what is to be seen in the same places today are well intertwined in this wonderful presentation.
