Sinner or saint, rich or poor this book is for you. It should be a required read in your home. All it takes is an honest perspective!!!! #JesusBarnMinistries

Andrews is a fantastic writer! This book warmed my heart & spoke to it as well. So many lessons to learn. Will buy other books from him now

Definitely puts life in perspective!

This is one of my favorite books of all time, written by one of my favorite authors. I would highly recommend this book to anyone.

This book is one of the best books I have ever read. I love his style of writing love the self help but in a form of a story. I read this book in one day. I simply could not put it down. 🙂😀😃😄😁

A must read, gets to the "heart" of any & all matters. Gives one eyes to see & ears to hear

I highly recommend reading "The Noticer" and to take a good hard look at how you handle problems in your life. Do you use harsh words? Do you bring on problems because you make hasty decisions? Does your actions speak louder than your words ? All of these things makes a diference in what direction our life will go. Since reading "The Noticer" and putting the teaching into practice, I have made better decisions, have used more postitive words, think more positive and have made my actions speak louder than my words. My life is more calm and much more peaceful than it was before reading "The Noticer".

"Wisdom that can change the very course of your life will come from the people you are around, the books you read, and the things you listen to or watch on radio or television." ~ pg. 64 "The Noticer" is instantly captivating in a comforting way. Andy, a hopeless homeless man, is living under a pier when he meets a wise older man named Jones. Imagine someone could solve your most urgent problems with a few words and a deep understanding of life. Jones is this type of man in fact he is called a "noticer." He helps Andy turn his life around. Throughout the book Jones influences the lives of anyone he speaks to. While reading "The Noticer" I couldn't wait to see what Jones would say next. His take on worry and fear being a misuse of creative imagination was very meaningful to me. In fact with each story told in this book you learn something valuable that you can apply to your life. If you have ever read the The Five Love Languages by Gary Chapman then the application of his ideas will amuse you in this book. There is a lot of self-help information woven into an intriguing story. By the end of the book you will wish you had someone like Jones in your life to guide you through some of life's most difficult challenges. Andy Andrews is a brilliant writer who knows exactly how to keep your full attention. It is difficult to put this book down once you start reading so give yourself a few hours or you will be up half the night. I look forward to reading more of his books especially The Traveller's Gift. Highly Recommended! ~The Rebecca Review

Andy Andrew's "The Noticer" is one, absolutely incredible book. If you were to look at the page count, the book is a quick read. But, the content encased by both covers offers a lifetime of hope, reassurance and inspiration. The book's key figure goes by the name, "Jones". He is an elderly, grandfatherly man who seems to appear in peoples' lives when they are at their bleakest and darkest. The words of wisdom from the book constantly reverberate through my memory as I recall the various times throughout the reading of the book that I felt the sting of self-reflection and the warmth of hopeful reconciliation. Jones is the "Noticer" who drops in and out of people's lives and offers wisdom that penetrates hearts and inspires change. Jones' gift is the power of perspective. When trouble hits our lives, it is easy to be entangled too deeply into the weeds of life's worries and struggles. Jones steps into the lives of the people in the book and helps them to step back and view the options everyone can choose from. He patiently teaches and graciously offers the gift of perspective to anyone willing to simply listen. There were several times throughout my reading of the book that I groaned inwardly as introspection led to revelation about my character and inspiration on where I can go from here. This isn't you're typical "feel good" book. While the messages found throughout the story come in easily managed doses they stick to you heart, soul and mind. I tried to leave this book immaculately unmarked and unscathed, thinking that this would make a great gift that I could pass on to another reader. But, I couldn't stop myself from bending corners of countless pages and highlighting favorite passages, marking up parts of the book that called me to a deeper self-reflection and a greater motivation to change. I may end up just buying copies for others to mark up and dig into. No other book since the Bible has inspired me to address my personal weaknesses and face my personal challenges and move forward to personal changes. There is the added bonus of "A Reader's Guide" found at the back to take it even deeper. This has been one of the most rewarding and thought-provoking reads I have ever experienced. Andy Andrews is a gifted storyteller who can move our hearts and change our minds for the betterment and advancement of ourselves. There was a song years ago from the soundtrack of the animated movie, "The Prince of Egypt" that beautifully captures the spirit of this simple and powerful book on the strength perspective can bring to our lives. The song's title: "Through Heaven's Eyes".
