Description: Andy AndrewsThe NoticerA new story of common wisdom from the bestselling author of The Traveler's Gift Orange Beach, Alabama is a simple town filled with simple people. But like all humans on the planet, the good folks of Orange Beach 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, as well as the many other obstacles that life seems to dish out to the masses. Fortunately, when things look the darkest - a mysterious man named Jones has a miraculous way of showing up. An elderly man with white hair, of indiscriminate age and race, wearing blue jeans, a white T-shirt and leather flip flops carrying a battered old suitcase, Jones is a unique soul. Communicating what he calls "a little perspective," Jones explains that he has been given a gift of noticing things that others miss. "Your time on this earth is a gift to be used wisely," he says. "Don't squander your words or your thoughts. Consider even the simplest action you take, for your lives matter beyond measure…and they matter forever." Jones speaks to that part in everyone that is yearning to understand why things happen and what we can do about it.
Like The Traveler's Gift, The Noticer is a unique narrative is a blend of fiction, allegory, and inspiration. Gifted storyteller Andy Andrews helps us see how becoming a "noticer" just might change a person's life forever.

Author Information Andy Andrews Andy Andrews, hailed by a New York Times writer as someone who has quietly become "one of the most influential people in America,” is a best-selling novelist and in-demand corporate speaker for the world’s largest organizations. The Traveler’s Gift, a featured book selection of ABC’s Good Morning America, has been translated into nearly twenty languages and was on the New York Times bestseller list for seventeen weeks. Andy has spoken at the request of four different United States presidents and toured military bases around the world, being called upon by the Department of Defense to speak to the troops.

Customer Reviews Average Customer Rating: (2 reviews)   The Noticer January 20, 2010Reviewer: Timothy Kirkpatrick from North Carolina This is one of the best quick reads I have come across in awhile. Andy mixes truth, fiction, allegory and humor to keep you guessing and turning the pages. I read 80 pages in one night and finished it the next. Rarely will a book engage me like this one did. If you need some perspective on life or know someone who does this would be a great book. It’s not invasive or confrontational. In fact, the way Andrews weaves the story makes you feel like you are apart of the story, which is all about gaining perspective on your life. Pick this one up for you or a friend and you won’t be disappointed.  The Noticer April 27, 2009Reviewer: Kristine from Corvallis Oregon I thoroughly enjoyed Andy Andrew’s book, The Noticer. The story opens with a personal account by the author. He is a young man who has found himself grief stricken and homeless. Along comes a wise old sage, Jones, who helps Andy get back on his feet. Jones gives him simple yet profound advice that brings Andy the perspective he needs to live life again, after his grief. “The situation in which you find yourself is fraught with difficulty, yes. It is also piled high with benefits…Remember, whatever you focus upon increases.” Jones, page 13 As the story unfolds, Andy meets many other people whose lives have been impacted by Jones. Jones helps a crooked business man turn honest; a middle aged couple save their marriage, an old man transition from life to death, and an elderly woman find the courage to continue living. “In desperate times, much more than anything else, folks need perspective. For perspective brings calm, calm leads to clear thinking. Clear thinking yields new ideas. And ideas produce the bloom…of an answer. Keep your head and heart clear. Perspective can just as easily be lost as it can be found.” Jones, page 154 I strongly recommend “The Noticer” for anyone who could use a little perspective in their lives. Show all 2 reviews |
