Review of Always Before Me
1 posts
[Following is a volunteer review of "Always Before Me" by John Servant.]
What would you do if failure were always before you? Always Before Me by John Servant reveals spiritual beliefs to deal with difficulties in our life. Living in life with a lot of options but stuck in circumstances with almost no option, Father Paul and Father Anthony chose to keep silent in front of accusations towards them. Those decisions lead them to where lack of hope and full of darkness cover human’s heart and mind though that isn’t their fault. Wherever life broughts them to, their faith doesn't fade, which helps prisoners and sinners around them realize that it is never too late to change.
At times, human beings are prisoners of their own suffering, failed dreams and their weak faith. When it happens, the power to forgive is important. Even saints have their pasts and sinners have the right to call on God’s mercy. Mercy will take dangerous minds to where the light shines through.
Always Before Me is a story about faith, mercy, redemption and humility and how to heal from your own mistakes.
This book reminds me of a saying at the end of a dramatic daily-life Korean story I read: “Be brave, be happy.” It has been a long time since I read that story. It is not my favorite story but I have been obsessed with the saying. Reading Always Before Me also reminds me of an absurd idea I had. Everything seems to be clear. Being brave doesn’t guarantee that life will be fulfilled with effort, so the saying has the word “happy”. Both make the saying end completely. Failure is always ahead or not, decisions have to be made.
A story with terrible tragedies that weren’t adjusted. Weakness might be the reason for falling into temptation but there is always a faith to overcome temptation. The prisoners and sinners in this book, some of them cannot win their lives. The book is much about spiritual aspects, it speaks thoughts out rather than actions.
I think the book is rich in philosophy. I don’t think I dislike anything in this book. It is understandable what happens to characters. Complete trust and sacrificial love are sacred things which I saw through Always Before Me. I rate the book 4 out of 4 stars.
I recommend this book to readers who take pleasure in Catholic and Christian fiction stories. The book is not only about religious contents but also some problems in society nowadays.
