The Bronze Bow #1521 Daniel bar Jamin is fired by one passion: to avenge his father's death by crucifixion by driving the Roman legions from his land of Israel. They crucified his father as an example to the village. He joins an outlaw band in Galilee and leads a dangerous life of spying and impatiently waiting to seek revenge. The zealots refuse to help save his friend from capture. Headstrong Daniel is devoid of tenderness and forgiveness, heading down a destructive path toward disaster until Jesus helps his sister heal and he begins to understand the lessons of compassion taught by Jesus of Nazareth.
