[Following is a volunteer review of "Always Before Me" by John Servant.]
4 out of 4 starsShare This Review
The book,[I]Always before me, is an inspirational book, that talks about the lives of three people;[I]Father Paul,Father Antony and Matt.
Father Paul was a priest who was well aware of confidentiality behind confession in the church. He understood what was expected of him by the parish and he embraced it dearly. A confession however changes his life as it was an admission to crime by [I]Blood. Father Paul is arrested and convicted for refusing to cooperate with a police investigation. Innocently convicted,he was taken to prison where the prosecutor first made sure he was stripped off permission to conduct mass or preach in prison. The warden is later on compelled to grant Father Paul a favour of his wish by his wife who was sick. Father Paul has no other desire other than to serve the Lord by preaching His word thus he asked permission to preach and conduct mass. The warden allowed him to preach only to those that wished to be there listening to him.
Father Antony later on joins father Paul in the same prison for he had heard the works of Father Paul in prison. They had a talk and Father Paul strengthened Father Antony who was wrongly accused of assaulting a student. The journey of life of Father Paul in prison and his teachings during the time inspired Father Antony and Matt who was a psychiatrist in prison and facing similar accusations as Father Antony. Father Paul is eventually killed in prison and Father Antony is left to take over the ministry in prison. Father Antony later on dies leaving Matt as a witness of what had happened to the two servant's lives. Matt recognized himself as a sinner and not worthy of God's favor but after the death of Father Antony,he realizes that he too had been chosen. Matt was already taught by Father Antony that God was capable of forgiving him this Matt received and took it upon himself to continue with the ministry in prison.
The book ,[I] always before me by [I]John Servant is the ideal inspirational book that I actually like. Teachings used in the passage are inspirational and contain moral values that add value to the community. I encountered zero spelling mistakes and the tenses used are correct. Although I did not like the cover of the book,I'd recommend people to read the book since it offers comfort to the disputed and contains teachings of peace. No vulger language is used and no age limit is required to read the book.
I'd rate [I] Always before me, a 4 out of 4 stars. Values such as patience ,kindness, forgiveness for one another, obedience and respect are widely discussed in the book. I'd recommend this book majorly to Catholics and Christians since it's based on their beliefs and teachings. It contains helpful motivational teachings and values.
