I recently read The Noticer by Andy Andrews and wanted to take a few moments to share my thoughts on this book.

The Noticer is about a fella named Jones. Not Mr. Jones, just Jones. He wanders in and out of people’s lives long enough to impart some wisdom and “perspective.”

This “perspective” from a total stranger is transformational. Jones sees things that everyone else misses. He points out ideas and knowledge that is typically right in front of the person, but they are too caught up in themselves; too close to the topic, to see the “big picture.”

Some of the quotes in this book are incredible If you are someone who does not normally memorize scripture or quotes, then I highly recommend you make an exception! Here are a couple:

* Wisdom is the ability to see, into the future, the consequences of your choices in the present

* The way we feel loved is usually the same way we express love

* Forgiveness is different than trust or respect. Forgiveness is about the past. Trust and respect are about the future.

Everyone can gain some perspective by reading this book. Andy Andrews has masterfully placed a little bit of all of us on these pages. So if you want a broader view of who you are and what’s going on around you…pick up a copy of The Noticer.
It is well worth your time!
