Your chance to regroup, take a breath, and begin your life again
awaits in the simple wisdom and heartwarming story of a man named Jones.

It’s not very often that you come across a book that is equal parts self-help, motivational, inspiration and heartwarming tale. But that is exactly what Andy Andrews latest book, The Noticer (Thomas Nelson;2009) is. Filled with common wisdom and uncommon perspective the book captures the lives of characters who are struggling with poverty, failing marriage, lost dreams, old age, business failures, homelessness and more, until an old drifter named Jones comes into their lives. Jones has a gift for seeing what other people miss, and showing up just when you need him, only to leave just as quickly after giving the gift of perspective.

“Sometimes, all a person needs is a little perspective.“   Jones

The book is a very engaging and manageable read, because of this, The Noticer is an excellent choice for book clubs with its handy “reader’s guide” and discussion questions at the end. Even if you are not part of a book club you will benefit from pondering the discussion questions, which much like the book, will no doubt cause you gain a little better perspective on your life and it’s many blessings.

Those who enjoy the book will want to visit The Noticer Project website, to learn more about how you can participate in a world wide movement to “notice” the five most influencial people in your life.
