It tells the gripping story of Daniel bar Jamin, a young Jewish rebel whose quest for revenge against Roman oppressors is transformed by the teachings of Jesus. Praised for its complex characters and timeless themes of love, hate, and forgiveness, this book offers a profound reading experience that resonates with both young readers and adults. ## Description In this Newbery Medal–winning novel, Daniel bar Jamin will stop at nothing to seek revenge for his father's death at the hands of the Roman Empire. After Daniel bar Jamin's father is crucified by the Roman Empire, Daniel wants nothing more than to rid his land of Israel of Roman control once and for all. Yet when David meets Jesus of Nazareth, a traveling carpenter with a gentle message of love and forgiveness, David starts to realize that the hate festering in his heart might be his true enemy after all. Review: Love overcomes hate - I remember reading this as a kid in grade school. Rereading now at 64, I think it is a great read at any age. The character mix is great as each one is developed and the interactions between them is complex. As an adult, maybe some subtleties of the characters wouldn’t be as obvious when I was a child. The book is timeless as the main theme of the story is the “greatest love a person can show is to die for his friends” (Jn 15:13) and "Love your enemies." (Mt 6:27) these concepts are still problems today that show how little we have changed as we have become more “civilized.” Unbelievers do not comprehend that followers of Christ actually love their enemies and do not hate them. The story is something that can appeal to young readers but also adult readers making it a timeless story. Review: Excellent read for all ages - This is a superlative fiction book. Just great. Set in Galilee in the time of Jesus, this is the story of a young Jewish rebel who is won over to the gentle teachings of Jesus. It is not a preachy religious book, however. Daniel, the main character in this story, is picture of what happens when hate takes over your life. He is so full of hatred about the Roman occupation and the oppression of his people that he is blinded to the injustice that his original leader, Rosh, participates in, and the consequences of his absence from his family. He must learn what the responsibilities are and the nature of true leadership while he comes of age. I would recommend this primarily to young men, but young women will enjoy the strong female characters as well. Daniel and Joel will be identified with by young men who read this book. Their spirit and passion are attractive. Every man wants to have a cause so big they can die for it. Though some aspects of the story are a bit predictable they are not melodramatic, but rather heartfelt. Speare does not dip deep into pathos. Quotes: "Daniel bristled. He could not make this girl out. Was she for him or against him?" (79). "He had taken for granted that Leah had lost her wits on the terrible night of her childhood. Was he any better, he thought now with shame, than the neighbors who would have tied her with ropes?" (129) "Strong arms and muscles were easy to find. A fiery spirit was not so common" (137). "With irritation he saw that the water jar was empty and that he would have to stand in line at the well with the snickering women. He bent and picked up the jar, and the bars of his cage slid into place around him" (158). ## Features - Great product! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #3,265 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #1 in Children's Historical Fiction on Ancient Civilizations #1 in Children's Christian Historical Fiction #141 in Children's Classics | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 2,625 Reviews | ## Images ![The Bronze Bow: A Newbery Award Winner - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/A1XI0d8cfxL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Love overcomes hate *by P***T on November 20, 2025* I remember reading this as a kid in grade school.

Our mortal hates, our hopes, our desires to change, our need to be in tune with deity are shown clearly in this book. I loved that our Savior changed the heart of Daniel in this book. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.kr/products/1693687-the-bronze-bow-a-newbery-award-winner](https://www.desertcart.kr/products/1693687-the-bronze-bow-a-newbery-award-winner) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Korea* *Store origin: KR* *Last updated: 2026-08-01*
