The Bronze Bow | 
so-so3✨ I didn‘t get into this Newbery Award Winner as I hoped I would. About a young man who lost a lot trying to fight the Roman‘s who took it all from him. He has a lot of hate in his heart as he try‘s to follow the cause to a vow he made to serve the Lord. He meets Jesus and his disciples through his journey. Jesus provides him wisdom that he needs to think about. This is one of my #roll100
Here are my #roll100 books this month. How exciting. Since this is my first time I added 3 slots to my TBR so will need to roll another number myself for the last one. 😅 @PuddleJumper
pickI never knew this story existed. My heart is so full. Love is stronger than hate. It's a beautiful book. Speare illustrated the Lord's love and patience and forgiveness in such a way that leaves no doubt that He came to set us free. #NewberyEpicChallenge @amber_ldsmom Amber, from the bottom of my heart, thank you.
pickOur 7th and 8th graders were reading this with one of the pastors. I choose to grab the audio copy and “read“ with them. I am glad I did. It is a great book. The discussion with middle schoolers and pastor was great.
“The moment the shop door was open, villagers appeared with work they had saved for Simon‘s return. They watched the strange young blacksmith with suspicion, waiting to see what he could do. Daniel took up the #challenge. He could not deny that it was a satisfaction to step every morning into Simon‘s tidy shop, stocked with bars of iron and hung with rows of tongs and chisels and hammers.” #QuotsyApr19
pickThis is one of those few books that I have read several times. I think I have read it 5 times! I LOVE how the main character is a short tempered young man that is full of hatred and does not care for anyone, but Jesus(don‘t y‘all love those words) turned his life around for the better! It is a GREAT book!
Poolside because school's out!! 🌞🌞🌞❤🌞🌞🌞
Starting this today as my July Newbery title. I'm hoping to get enough reading time tomorrow so I can finish it in July. 🙂
Never read this one. Newest addition to my collection of Newbery titles pre-1972.
For years, I've been collecting Newbery books from thrift stores (with the intention of reading them, naturally). This, among many, still remains unread on my shelf. #TBR #AprilBookShowers #PublishedInThe1960s
"He trains my hands for war, so that my arms can bend a bow of bronze..." #thebronzebow #elizabethgeorgespeare #historicalfiction #christian #christianlit #newberrymedal
pickOne of my favorite books growing up. Always remember the exchange between Daniel and Jesus, which I unfortunately don't have verbatim, but I remember as Jesus saying: "An eye for an eye. We must repay in kind. How will you repay [spoiler's] death?" Daniel: "By vengeance!" Jesus: "But he did not give you vengeance. He gave you love. Can you repay in vengeance what was given to you in love?"
pickI had no idea what to expect when I picked up The Bronze Bow (the back of my copy had no blurb), but what I found inside the book was a feast! • Read my full review here: http://bit.ly/2b68FQ1
