Review of Always Before Me
1 posts
[Following is a volunteer review of "Always Before Me" by John Servant.]
This is the story of a saint, a sinner, and an ordinary man. The book is strongly influenced by Catholic faith. Author John Servant does an excellent job of demonstrating his extensive knowledge of Catholicism. The author attempted to answer the big questions a person faces in life through the sorrows and sufferings of these characters, such as why bad things happen, are bad people worthy of redemption, do good deeds guarantee a happy and smooth life, how to live a righteous life and seek forgiveness etc.
Always before me is a story about two priests and a psychologist; Father Paul and Father Anthony, and third, Matt who meet by chance in a prison,
Father Paul is a man of disciplines and beliefs; he walks on the religious path of Christianity ; he conducts sermons for the fellow inmates; religiously does rosaries and he has complete faith in God.
Father Paul is sentenced to prison for refusing to break his oath as a priest.
There, he is joined by Father Anthony and Matt, both of whom have been falsely accused of sexual misconduct.
Always Before Me is a short, fast-paced book that is rich in religious principles and Catholic teachings. It captures adversity, failure, tolerance, and forgiveness. The author has three stories that are all intertwined. These are the stories of faith and how these men overcame adversity by having unconditional faith in God. In the story, each man goes through many trials and tribulations that bring out the weaknesses and strengths in each of their characters. Their journey will inspire and brings out the good and motiving thoughts from the readers.
The book is small and simple to read. It's only 90 pages long, and I finished it in one sitting. The story is both inspiring and motivating. Catholic teachings and Christian faith are heavily influenced in the book. Even though the stories are based on moral messages, they have a good plot and are entertaining. Any type of readers are likely to enjoy the stories and life lessons contained within. The motivational speeches and teachings are easy to understand.
I rate this book a 4 out of 4 stars. I found no flaws in the writing, and the book appears to have been professionally edited. I would recommend this book to anyone looking for motivation and faith. The book is ideal for Catholics or anyone who holds high moral values. Author John Servant has done an excellent job composing this story.
