To Notice

Edit: I originally wrote this a good month or so after reading "The Noticer" the first time. I just read it again, and I have goodness to add. Just get this book, open your mind, and forget that it says "self-help" on the back because it's not a self-help book. It's a book about perspective and the beautiful way our relationships with each other can encourage growth. That is all.

Andy Andrews has a new book out called "The Noticer." It's an incredible book that challenges the reader to offer a perspective change to people in your life. It changed my perspective of my own life. I've been incredibly blessed to have "Noticers" placed in my life at various stages. These people have spoken truth into my life when I have been absolutely incapable of seeing it by myself. My life has been radically blessed by these people who have offered a fresh perspective when I've been too focused on my own problems to see the gifts in my life and the talents in my heart.

Andy Andrews has an incredible story. The book starts with Andy in one of his presumably darkest places. His ability to rise above this no doubt is due in part to his Noticer, Jones. It's a simple story with profound ramifications. It challenged me to be a Noticer, to offer perspective to my struggling friends. As a book, it was beautifully written, quite an easy read, and it has already been passed on to dear friends.

I really challenge you dear friends to pick up a copy of this book and start Noticing. It changes everything, and invites a delicate spirit into your life.
