Just read the latest book, The Noticer, by Andy Andrews, bestselling author of The Traveler's Gift. Thomas Nelson Publishers.It's a great read!
Orange Beach, Alabama is a simple town filled with simple people. But they all have their share of problems – marriages teetering on the brink of divorce, young adults giving up on life, business people on the verge of bankruptcy, and many of the other obstacles that life seems to dish out to the masses.
Fortunately, when things look the darkest – a mysterious old man named Jones has a miraculous way of showing up. Communicating what he calls “a little perspective,” Jones explains that he has been given a gift of noticing things that others miss. In his simple interactions, Jones speaks to that part in everyone that is yearning to understand why things happen and what they can do about it.
I couldn't put the book down. However, I found myself pausing throughout each chapter thinking about the many conversations I have had with people dealing with the various subjects addressed by the author. Jones' optimism, the right perspective, is not only contagious - it's something we all could use a little more of.
I totally recommend this book. It's a great mix of fiction, allegory, and inspiration!
