A fast-paced, suspenseful, vividly wrought tale of. The lessons of love and forgiveness that Daniel learns from traveling carpenter, Jesus of Nazareth allow Daniel to purge his heart of his hatred. The setting is a tumultuous Israel at the time of Jesus whom Daniel meets and eventually comes to love. This is the story of eighteen-year-old Daniel bar Jamin-a hotheaded young man with anger in his heart over the death of his father at the hands of the invading Romans.

He trains my hands for war, so that my arms can bend a bow of bronze. –from the Song of David (2 Samuel 22:35)

I’d love to try this author again, though, she has an amazing writing style.The title refers to 2 Samuel 22:35 in which David says God has prepared him to be a soldier for Him and has given him great strength that he can bend a bow of bronze. On top of all that, they also talked of the apocrypha and they mixed it so much with the Bible that I got confused what they were exactly talking about, and that also got me really uncomfortable. So because of this, I was really uncomfortable about this book and I really cannot recommend it, nor will I be rereading it. It ends with Jesus healing someone under Daniel’s eyes-and it’s a story found nowhere in the Bible. That is close to the end of the book, though, so I went ahead and finished it to see how it turned out. We weren’t told what He looks like and I don’t think it’s right for us to make it up… Then He had a full-blown conversation with Daniel, and that finished it. At first the book stuck pretty close to what He actually said in the Bible, but I was still uncomfortable at His being described. But I quickly started getting uneasy when Jesus started to become a prominent figure.
