Review of Always Before Me
1 posts
[Following is a volunteer review of "Always Before Me" by John Servant.]
If you want to know how you can live peacefully in this world and improve your life both spiritually and socially, then this is just the book you need. Always Before Me by John Servant can serve as the ultimate guide to spiritual freedom, and it did just that for me. And it isn't boring.
In this book Servant talks mostly about Father Paul whom I believe is so spiritually enlightened. In the beginning Father Paul was a normal Catholic priest but after a series of twisted events he finds himself in prison though he is innocent. After being unjustly imprisoned, Father Paul believes that the prison is now his new territory to preach and change lives, and he starts to help his inmates to achieve their spiritual freedom, and his good deeds and nice behaviours make him popular in the prison and outside the prison, and after many barriers he is finally allowed to give sermons in the prison.
Father Paul tries to help many people to live better lives through his sermons, wich are both heart warming and full of wisdom. In his sermons he addresses the major problems the world is facing for example environmental issues, family issues and many others. His life influences many people including Matt who is the psychologist and Father Anthony who is a new young priest for the prison and help them to live better lives, and he influences many inmates.
Though he faces many challenges, hostilities and betrayals during his time in prison, his faith in the Lord gets stronger than before he came in prison.
These are some of the positive parts of this book; in his book Always Before Me Servent provides lessons on how people can improve their lives and strengthen their faith. He addresses many problems the world is facing in a way that you can't get enough of it or even be bored in the slightest way. John Servant addresses the roots of those problems and provides advices on how to deal with those problems in an interesting manner wich makes it easy to be understood by everyone. Servant also emphasises that we can not solve the problems of the world without seeking guidance from God and trusting in him.
This book acts as an ultimate spiritual guide to help people to improve their lives even if they might be facing many problems in this world like injustices, sickness, and guilt from their past mistakes. It can also help a person to achieve their spiritual freedom. And the way Father Paul deals with other inmates, wardens and even those who had opposite views about the major life principles can help you to deal with hostilities and betrayal from the people around you.
The negative aspects aren't as much, except that there is a constant occurrence of The Church's doctrines, for example Servant included many prayers in the book that they may be considered a little bit too much by some readers.
I rate this book 4 out of 4 stars because it is written in a way that is interesting for a person seeking spiritual guide and it is full of useful information and advices. Always before me was also professionally edited that you won't find any typos or errors. This book was really meticulously written for its purpose.
