Review of Always Before Me
Is life for a righteous man always full of the joys of spring? Sometimes a man’s faith is tested by how firm he is willing to stand in the midst of great trials and temptations. The book, Always Before Me: A Story of Mercy and Salvation by John Servant, is a book that evinces the rivalry between faith, revenge, justice, and betrayal. In his book, John projects the life of a steadfast Catholic priest who was committed to his faith by an oath. Father Paul was unyielding to any adversity, even to the point of death, despite being an innocent man.
In this very inspiring book, the life of an innocent priest betells that what a man is made up of is actually more visible in his deeds than in his words. A young police officer and his pregnant wife were killed by some boys, and there is so much pressure on the law enforcement agencies to bring justice to the late officer, even if it means prosecuting an innocent priest because of his faith. How much of the agony would this priest have to endure? Or is he fulfilling his purpose in such tribulation? Is it foolish to hold on to one's beliefs and faith even if it means giving up everything that matters to you? This book provides soothing answers to these questions and more.
I so much love the narrative used by the author, John Servant, to keep his audience so focused on his book. The flashback used by the author and the suspense he created were quite intriguing. Another interesting thing about this book was the clarity of the message the author was trying to pass on to his audience. The author avoided the use of equivocal and ambiguous sentences. The author did so well in expanding the scope of his book beyond just Christianity.
Having gone through this book, there was nothing I disliked. Always Before Me is a book that teaches so much about faith, forgiveness, and love and gives encouragement and inspiration to those going through betrayal and persecution because of their faith. The author did so well in explaining the disparity between revenge, the truth, and justice. I couldn’t get enough of this book as every chapter was pleasurable.
I will rate this book 4 out of 4 stars. I found no errors in this book as it was well edited. I recommend this book to all Christian book lovers, including adults, youth, and children, and those who are interested in building their morality and faith. This book will also be of great benefit to anyone going through persecution because of their belief.
