β¦ Synopsis
1962 Newbery Medal
He trains my hands for war, so that my arms can bend a bow of bronze. βfrom the Song of David (2 Samuel 22:35)
This gripping, action-packed novel tells the story of eighteen-year-old Daniel bar Jaminβa fierce, hotheaded young man bent on revenging his fatherβs death by forcing the Romans from his land of Israel. Danielβs 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: βCanβt 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.β A powerful, relevant read in turbulent times.
