The Bronze Bow by Elizabeth George Speare is about a boy named Daniel bar Jamin who lived in Galilee during Jesus’ time. In the beginning of the book, Daniel is homeless and lives with outlaws in the mountains until Simon, one of Daniels friends gives him his house, because he is going to follow Jesus. Daniel dislikes the Romans, so Daniel and his friend Joel organize a group of boys who also dislike the Romans.
The boys meet secretly and form ideas of how to cause trouble for the Romans. Meanwhile Daniel has the opportunity to listen to Jesus. Jesus tells Daniel to love the Romans, his enemies. If you are looking for a book that has adventure and conflict in it you will enjoy the Bronze Bow. It is an excellent book.

Ooh, one of my favorites!! It's such a good story. I just pulled it off my shelf so Emily could read it ... I might have to go and re-read it again myself. :)
