"Judean Daniel bar Jamin witnessed his father's execution at the hands of the Romans and pledges his life to drive the hated conquerors from his land. But after his grandmother's death he must care for his sister, who the townspeople says is possessed by devils, for she never leaves the house. Daniel is torn between the zealot leader Rosh, who plunders even his own people, and the carpenter called Jesus, who stirs Daniel's heart with his talk of the new kingdom, but does not fight the Roman tyranny. this is a powerfully written tale of allegiance, loyalty and love. A must read for fans of historical fiction by a leading author."
"There's something about The Bronze Bow that made me LOVE it. Today, I was really thinking about what it was that made me love it. I realized that it is the fact that the main character, Daniel, was redeemed through Jesus! It was beautiful to watch him go from a hateful young man to a loving man. It was wonderful to see him realize who Jesus really is... This redemption happens to all of us through many trials at some point in our lives, and this book really helped me see this, especially with what is going on with my precious brother James. In this book, Daniel (the main character) has to go through many, many difficult times in order to be redeemed. I believe that redemption through trials and Jesus is the main point that the author was trying to get at in this novel."
"I have decided I am not going to finish this book. It's just annoying and when you have to force yourself to continue a book you are reading for pleasure, well, then it is time to just stop it and read something else. I found the main character very annoying. The fact he could not see Rosh for what he is, just some bandit even more annoying. The idea of going up against the Roman Empire suicide. So, what does this kid think he is going to do -- him and his band of 20? even if everyone got together it would still not make a dent against the Roman Empire. And didn't he see the more he rebelled the more pain he would cause himself and others of his people. But mostly I just did not like the main character. He was just very very annoying and unlikable. And it was obvious this is some kind of evangelize, get people to accept Christ, become Christian book. I think people who write religious fiction need to do a better job of it. I have yet to find a book that doesn't go overboard. So, no, not recommended. Not at all recommended. Maybe I'll come back to it, years from now, if I finish every other book on the planet or it's the last one left that has survived an inferno and I have nothing else to read!"
"I certainly never expected to encounter among the Newberys a book of historical fiction where the main character meets Jesus!
Daniel is a young man growing up in Israel during the time of the Roman occupation. Daniel wants nothing more than to rid his land of the hated Roman legions. He joins a band of warriors who are preparing an army to go up against the Romans, but, in time, he sees that the hatred of the band against the Romans is not conquering them. He hears about a rabbi who goes from village to village, preaching love not hate, and he comes to meet up with Jesus and sees with his own eyes the power of love."
