Book: The Noticer Returns

Have you read any books by Andy Andrews?  I was excited to find a new one called The Noticer Returns at the local library recently.  My husband read it first, and then I read it myself. 

About the book:

Perspective is a powerful thing.

Andy Andrews has spent the past five years doing a double take at every white-haired old man he sees, hoping to have just one more conversation with the person to whom he owes his life.

Through a chance encounter at a local bookstore, Andy is reunited with the man who changed everything for him – Jones, also known as “The Noticer.”

As the story unfolds, Jones uses his unique talent of noticing little things that make a big difference. And these “little things” grant the people of Fairhope, Alabama, a life-changing gift - perspective. Along the way, families will be united, financial opportunities will be created, and readers will be left with powerfully simple solutions to the everyday problems we all face.

My thoughts:
I enjoyed this book like I did the first one and wanted to share it here to recommend it to you.  Books by Andy Andrews make you stop and think about things in a new way.  They are good for anyone because I think any reader could get something out of this book.     

You can read more about this book at the website. 

I reviewed The Noticer here and The Butterfly Effect here. 

Have a day of blessings!

Book Review: The Butterfly Effect

I had the privilege of reading a new book from Andy Andrews called The Butterfly Effect. I have read other books by Andy Andrews, such The Noticer, so I expected this one to be good. I was not disappointed.

From the publisher:
Speaker and New York Times best-selling author Andy Andrews shares a compelling and powerful story about a decision one man made over a hundred years ago, and the ripple effect it’s had on us individually, and nationwide, today. It’s a story that will inspire courage and wisdom in the decisions we make, as well as affect the way we treat others through our lifetime. Andrews speaks over 100 times a year, and The Butterfly Effect is his #1 most requested story.

My thoughts:
This is a beautifully designed gift book with an encouraging message. We may not realize it in our daily lives but our lives do touch the lives of other people. Our lives really do matter. We may not see it now but the choices we make and things we do have an impact on others through history.

This book would make a nice gift because of both it's physical beauty and valuable message for readers.

Have a day of blessings!

2009 Book #16: The Noticer by Andy Andrews

Have you ever read a book that you really wanted to share with others because the message touched your heart? That is how I feel about the latest book from Thomas Nelson Publishers called The Noticer by Andy Andrews. This ten chapter book will grab the attention of the reader from the beginning and hold it until the last page.

The story is written from the perspective of a younger Andy and is about his encounter with a man named Jones. Jones comes into Andy’s life unexpectedly at a time when he needs him the most. It is a life-changing meeting actually. Andy continues to tell the stories of other people who encountered Jones and how he helped change their perspective.

I absolutely loved this book and would recommend it for everyone. There is a story and lesson here for everyone at any stage of life, old or young, married or single, male or female. The reader will be able to relate to the characters in the book. It teaches a valuable lesson about the importance of perspective when dealing with problems in life. This book would make a great gift for your personal library as well as a great gift for a family member or friend.
