The Noticer by Andy Andrews is a book that I have read and re-read since receiving it.  This book revolves around the two main character’s, Andy and Jones, not Mr. Jones, just Jones.  Andy just 23, is living under a pier, scratching together meals, and doesn’t have much of a plan for life.  Then out of the blue a wise old man that seems to know more then he lets on shows up.  Jones offers Andy a little perspective on his life, things are never the same for this young man.  Throughout the rest of the book I read about numerous lives that are changed, touched, and saved by Jones.  This mans wisdom, insight and keen understanding of perspective changes the lives of the people that he touches as well as my own life.  The mesmerizing storytelling, weaving together of characters and lives had me glued to  the pages.  I had many revelations throughout this book that have changed the way I interact with my wife and kids.  I felt such joy and hope as I read about gaining new perspective on my life.  There were times that I felt disgust reading about Henry Warren and his business practices, disgust because I could relate to the way I have done things in the past for people.  It made me recommit myself to staying honest when dealing with my customers.  Seeing that behaviour from a third parties point of view really hit home with me.  I can’t wait to get some of Andy’s other books as I have read that his writing is consistantly great with all that he does.  I will be recommending this book to family and friends, I will also be researching the option of purchasing a case of this book so that I can bless others with this insightful read.  Do yourself and others a favor, pick this up, read it and bless someone else with it!
