Publisher's Description

A New York Times bestseller! From the author of The Traveler’s Gift comes a story of common wisdom based on the remarkable true story of "Jones," a mysterious old man who has a knack for showing up in people's lives at just the right time, providing priceless lessons about love, life, and the importance of perspective.

Orange Beach, Alabama, is a simple town filled with simple people. But like all humans on the planet, the good folks of Orange Beach have their share of problems—marriages teetering on the brink of divorce, young adults giving up on life, businesspeople on the verge of bankruptcy, as well as the many other obstacles that life seems to dish out to the masses.

These situations can seem like dead ends, but to an old drifter named Jones with a gift for seeing what others miss, there is no such thing as a dead end. It only takes a little "perspective," he says, to recognize the miracles in our moments, the seeds of greatness tucked into our struggles.

Appearing when things look darkest, the mysterious, elderly man with white hair carrying a battered old suitcase shows up when he’s needed most. "Your time on this earth is a gift to be used wisely," he says.  "Don’t squander your words or your thoughts. Consider even the simplest action you take, for your lives matter beyond measure…and they matter forever."

The Noticer will provide you with:

  • A better understanding of life’s challenges and proper perspective for tackling them
  • Practical yet powerful methods of motivation, encouragement, and resolve for those struggling
  • A fresh and insightful perspective on how people can change their view of the world, find strength, and move beyond their problems

Based on a remarkable true story, The Noticer beautifully blends fiction and allegory in an entertaining and inspiring instruction manual for better living. The story of Jones continues in The Noticer Returns and Just Jones.

Homecoming Magazine Review

It’s been said before that many of us move through life with eyes wide shut. Indeed, as we go from day to day, endless lists of to do’s to endless lists of not to do’s, it’s dizzying how the smallest details of life can pass us by, unnoticed, unmissed and uncelebrated. It is this very phenomenon that prompted Andy Andrews’ latest work. With characteristic insight and expected tact, he delivers a story inspired by truth, that offers at once perspective, wisdom and a healthy dose of hope for tomorrow and yesterdays not forgotten.

In this small, emotion-packed book, Andrews takes readers to small-town Alabama, where the simplicities of life’s complications all seem to converge in a tidal wave of ordinary hopelessness. Yet, despite the entourage of despair, an unassuming, unpresumptuous package of encouragement and a fresh take on things arrives in a man called Jones. Through home-spun honesty and the kind of perspective that makes the mustiest corner smell fresh and clean again, Jones offers our characters a new take on life and a brighter view for the days ahead. For readers everywhere, The Noticer is the kind of read that bottles up the expectation of New Years, the excitement of a birthday and delivers it all in a hearty dose of literary refreshment.

Publisher's Weekly

Bestselling inspirational writer and speaker Andrews (The Traveler's Gift) again blends fiction, allegory and inspiration and seasons it with a dash of autobiography. The result is a readable little tale of a mysterious old man named Jones—”just Jones, no mister”—who shows up in the lives of people in crisis. Jones brings the gift of perspective—he “notices” alternative ways to think about things. Some of what he says is common sense: “yes, sir” works better than “I guess.” Some of what he says counters received wisdom: do sweat the small stuff, because little things can make a big difference as surely as brushstrokes make up a masterpiece. The narrator “Andy” is personable and appealing, and Jones is mysterious and brusque enough not to be a cloying Pollyanna. The title is awkward and not everyone likes motivational books, but many readers do. Andrews brings a track record, wordsmith skills and, best of all, an imagination.
