s l300 1

This gripping, action-packed novel tells the story of eighteen-year-old Daniel bar Jamin–a fierce, hotheaded young man bent on revenging his father’s death by forcing the Romans from his land of Israe

The Bronze Bow [] Readl.

Daniel’s palpable hatred for Romans wanes only when he starts to hear the gentle lessons of the traveling carpenter, Jesus of Nazareth. A fast-paced, suspenseful, vividly wrought tale of friendship, loyalty, the idea of home, community . . . and ultimately, as Jesus says to Daniel on page 224: “Can’t you see, Daniel, it is hate that is the enemy? Not men. Hate does not die with killing. It only springs up a hundredfold.

The only thing stronger than hate is love.” A powerful, relevant read in turbulent times.
