Book Reviews of The Bronze Bow

Book Review: "FOR GOD'S VICTORY"
Summary: 4 Stars

Young Daniel is particularly adamant in his passion to strike back, since he witnessed the crucifixion of his own father. He has vowed to dedicate his life to the violent removal of Romans soldiers from his homeland. Gradually, however, he is drawn to a different outlook on life, from a Nazarene carpenter, whom he hears speak at a synagogue and later by the seaside. Daniel is torn between philosophies of peace and violence, for Jesus also proclaims the coming of the Kingdom--which to Daniel means: the overthrow of Rome. Invite the enemy into his home?--Never!

Very serious with good plotting and plenty of action and dialogue. Includes some Old and New Testament references. What is strong enough to conquer Hatred? Will Daniel ever agree to coexist in peace with the despised Romans? An excellent read any time of year, but particularly from Lent to Pentecost. No Crucifixion or Resurrection scenes, but there is plenty of blood and gore. The book stresses the internal battle and mental anguish of the young heroes, as they strive to serve their country and develop their social conscience. This book should not offend Jews or Christians.
