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. The book documents the slow change of heart for a boy with every reason to hate the Roman occupiers in his Palestine home. By letting family obligations and friendships intrude into his one-track life path toward revolution, he unknowingly opens himself up to love and friendship. He further spoils his plans by spending time listening to Jesus of Nazareth teach, opening his mind beyond the small definition of the Kingdom of God and the desire for revenge. It’s a slow change, as often happens, and the ending leaves many loose ends, but the story is still told - a story full of doubt and a little bit messy, but very beautiful. "I fem år hade Daniel levat bland de fredlösa i bergens grottor. I fem år hade han hållit sin frihetsdröm och sitt hat levande. Han drömde om den dag då den siste romaren skulle vara fördriven från hans land. Israel led under det romerska oket, romerska legionärer hade dräpt hans far och drivit också hans mor i döden. Men efter fem år kommer Daniel tillbaka till sitt hem och sin stad, och där möter han för första gången timmermannen från Nazaret. Denne man är en kämpe, han är en av oss, tänker Daniel. Varför skulle han annars säga att riket är nära? Men det rike som som timmermannen talade om var ett annat än det som Daniel såg i sina drömmar. Med visionär kraft skildrar Elisabeth Spear det farofyllda livet på Jesu tid. Det är en skildring full av skönhet och full av spänning." sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica
