The Arrow That Flies By Day by John Servant is a story about the life of a Marine called John.He arrives one day at the Raptors training in order to try his luck in football though he had no college experience. One, Eugene, a coach, is moved by his story and wants to help him. He is lucky to be given a chance to train with the team. His performance is impressive as he can kick the ball from a far distance. The team's captain, Harvey, does not like him and he harasses John. John is dismissed when the coaches notice this rivalry. He is, however, called back when the placekicker gets injured.John gives his best and the team recovers the glory it had lost.
John is one person who has a heart to help. He forms a camaraderie with a punter who informs him that his son is hanging around with bad company and he doesn't know what to do. John links him with one Sister Francis, who had been like a mother to John, and the boy begins to straighten up again.
John gets himself a girlfriend but isn't sure how she will take the news of his inability to have children normally since he had been injured in the groins. He confides in Sister Francis who tells him to ask for God's guidance. This is after John scored a goal for the Raptors which gave the team victory in a very competitive match. On his way home, he tries to help a lady who was being carjacked but he is stabbed and dies on the spot.

One thing I like about this book is the fact that it is emotion grabbing. I literally cried when Harvey, who had made John's life hard, cried after hearing of John's death. The author has also made use of vivid description,giving the reader a clear image of what happened. He describes the football match so vividly.

The Arrow That Flies By Day is professionally edited as I found only one grammatical error. I would rate this book four out of four stars because it has a good flow of events and one can clearly form an image of what is happening in the book.

I would recommend this book to those who have lost faith in God and in life because, in one way or another, things did not turn as they planned. They ought to always remember that all things work for the good to those who trust in God and therefore, they should not fear the terrors of the night not the arrow that flies by day.
