"---A Newbery Medal Winner! As a young boy, 18-year-old Daniel witnessed his father's crucifixion at the hands of the Romans. Consumed by hate, his one desire is to drive the legions from Israel. But as he works with a band of out-laws using guerrilla tactics, he also begins to pay attention to the teachings of a wandering rabbi from a nearby town. Caught between his desire for revenge and the demands of his family, Daniel goes repeatedly to hear Jesus preach. Each time he leaves disappointed that Jesus doesn't take a stand against the Romans. Will Daniel learn to heed the message of forgiveness before his wiolent lifestyle leads to disaster? Twice awarded the Newbery Medal, Elizabeth George Speare also received the Laura Ingalls Wilder Award in recognition of her collected body of historical fiction. Narrator Pete Bradbury gracefully Brings life to Daniel and deftly illuminates the world he lived in." "A dramatic, deeply felt narrative whose characters and message will long be remembered."---Booklist (from back cover of case) Average Rating:
 Rating: - This book is the best!!!This book is fantastic! And it is not only good for kids but adults can get a lot out of it too. It is very accurate to the political and historical facts surrounding the time of Jesus and it leaves you with what I think is an accurate portrayl of what it was like in Isreal when Jesus walked the earth. It has a fantastic messege of love that I will never forget. This is my favourite book and I recomend it to everyone. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
