A Mysterious Stranger Full of Advice
Posted March 27, 2014
By hagerman100,
The Noticer by Andy Andrews is a fairly quick read, easy to follow and engaging. Having not read his first book, The Traveler's Gift, I wondered if I'd be a little lost jumping right into this one, but I wasn't.
This is technically a fictional story about a strange prophet-like old man who appears and disappears at various time periods in the author's life. However, the lessons taught by this mysterious man read more like a good self-help book, with practical advice that can be applied to many situations. The whole theme is that our experiences in life can be handled or mishandled, depending on PERSPECTIVE.
There was a lot of food for thought, and the practical application of these theories through the little vignettes gave great examples of how a change in perspective can go a long way. So today, I applied that to my life and decided that instead of saying how hot it is, I'd point out how nice it was to not have to lug around a heavy coat. Thanks for the help, Mr. Andrews! ;)
Thanks to Thomas Nelson Publishing for providing me a review copy of this book, in exchange for my honest opinion. View All Music And Book Reviews By hagerman100 | View hagerman100's Profile
