[Following is a volunteer review of "The Arrow That Flies By Day" by John Servant.]
The Arrow That Flies By Day is a stand-alone Christian novel written by John Servant. The story revolves around John, as the protagonist. John is an ex-marine who recently started playing football on a professional level. He lost his dad as a young child and later lost his mom while serving in the Marine. Sister Francis sees it as her duty to cater for him both spiritually and physically.
John who had always wanted to be a football player thought his dreams were unrealistic when his dad died. Fate took him to the Marines to prepare him for what lies ahead. While in the course of service he learns a lot that both develops him spiritually and physically. After serving as a Marine, he decides to give football one last shot. Though his trials to join the Raptors wasn't easy, he later got in. He falls in love with a girl, Sarah, it happened so quick. If he is to marry Sarah, he has to tell her what happened to him while serving in the Marines. What could it be that he is finding it difficult to say? Grab a copy of this book to find out.
The book from the beginning to the end kept me in suspense. I liked the idea that the author didn't use a clergy as the protagonist. The level of faith exhibited by John should be what every Christian should look to emulate. He turned everything that happened to him as a more reason to give God glory. His strong faith made God always stand by him. I never really found a Christian novel fun to read but the author proved me wrong with his masterpiece. Sister Francis also amazed me with her compassionate life. She was an embodiment of Christianity.
I thought the author made a mistake after reading about John's last tragedy, but as I read on I found out that whatever happens to us is all mapped out by God in his plans. The author's use of Biblical passages gave me something to ponder on. The author also did a very nice job in the way he narrated those football matches, it created a vivid picture in my mind. I think this novel would be excellent for a movie adaptation. I think the sole purpose of writing this book wasn't lost, it strengthened my weak faith.
I rate this book 4 out of 4 stars. It was exceptionally well edited. The author's choice of simple words is commendable. Though the novel was brief, it passed its message to the readers. I recommend this novel to lovers of Christian book.
