The Bronze Bow

We finished our first read-aloud of the year, The Bronze Bow recently. It is set during the time of the Roman Empire, in Palestine, from the perspective of an eighteen year old Galilean boy named Daniel. The only family he has is an aged grandmother and a sister, but he has left them to join a band of zealots in the hills. In this story, Daniel learns the meaning of true friendship, family loyalty, and the forgiveness and healing that Jesus brings. Oh, and I forgot to mention that this is during the time of Jesus. Does Daniel meet him? Read the book and find out for yourself.
