Review by Joyreen -- The Arrow That Flies By Day
The Arrow That Flies by Day by John Servant is an inspirational Christian novel that recounts a young man’s journey and how his faith impacts the people around him. John Servant recounts the journey of John Thaddeus, a young marine with a rough past who is determined to become an NFL kicker in the New Jersey Raptor’s team. His determination pays off and he makes the team despite his shortcomings. He gradually becomes a great asset to the team and helps them win game after game as the team's kicker.
As his fame grows, John Thaddeus’s faith also becomes stronger. His kind heart and faith makes him clash with the team leader, Harvey Brown, who does not appreciate his strong Christian faith and practices. John is, however, not deterred and goes on to inspire more people through his life both as a football player as well as outside the football field by living a life of faith and trust in God.
This book is character oriented as John Servant brings to life different characters who are quite intriguing. From John the star of the novel to his mentor, one headstrong and benevolent Sister Francis who is more than like a mother to John Thaddeus, as well as, John’s nemesis, Harvey Brown. All the characters are intertwined beautifully to bring out the inspiring story that is The Arrow That Flies by Day.
I enjoyed reading the book, and what I loved most about the book was the fact that it was thought provoking and the characters are so real and relatable from a Christian point of view; John’s life is the epitome of true Christianity and faith with actions. He is a committed Christian who is willing to put God above everything else in his life. There are several verses quoted in the book that add to the whole inspirational aspect of the book. I would gladly recommend this book to people who enjoy reading Christian literature and religious books. I would not recommend it to atheists or people who do not believe in God, though.
As much as I loved reading the book, there were a lot of football scenes outlined in the book that were a bit boring to me. The book is clearly a sports-oriented book and it would be a great read for people who love and enjoy football or books that are sports-oriented.
All these considered, I give The Arrow That Flies by Day, 4 out of 4 stars. I believe the book was professionally edited despite a few errors I found in it. It is an amazing and inspiring read that will provoke one’s thoughts and faith.
