I
enjoyed reading The Bronze Bow
along with our seventh-grade grandson. Set in the area in and near
Capernaum during the time of Jesus' ministry, readers are given a
sense of what life was truly like in that setting. They also get a
sense of the intensity with which Jesus lived and felt, His
compassion and love as well as His weariness.
Daniel, a would-be Zealot, is the main character, supported by some strong secondary characters as he sets aside his dreams in order to fulfill his responsibility to his younger sister. Yet he remains driven to rid the nation of the Romans, looking for a leader to follow in that pursuit. This book is a wonderful choice for parents and grandparents of middle grade students to read and discuss together. I highly recommend it.
