A Fairy Tale with Great Value
The Noticer
By Andy Andrews
Fairy Tale with Great Value
I’ve just finished “The Noticer”. And thoroughly enjoyed Andy’s writing style, which made “The Noticer” an extremely quick yet compelling read.
The Noticer is a fairy tale about a little town where folks are discouraged by many of life’s issues and difficulties. Much like those faced by many of us today. Yet each of these people encounter an odd little old fellow (only referred to as Jones), who steps into their lives mysteriously and shares his observations after Noticing them and helps each of these people see their circumstances from a different perspective.
There are plenty of life lessons to be learned from this sweet and compelling book. And most are based on Biblical truths. Yet I refer to this book as a fairy tale because although sweet and moving. The only absolute source for faith and life change is the Word of God. “The Noticer” does not refer to scriptures yet underneath the story is the idea that this mysterious Jones is indeed Jesus. If you are reading the book for gospel truth you will be disappointed. Because this book does not present the gospel nor does “The Noticer proclaim to be presenting gospel truth.
None the less Andrews weaves a beautiful story of folks very relevant to today with ideas that encourage people to “have a broader view … and it allows them to regroup, take a breath, and begin their lives again.”
With so much heartache in our world today, I feel that an extremely well written fairy tale is indeed a refreshing distraction. Your thoughts will be deeper after reading “The Noticer”. You will likely be thinking of the implications of your actions long after finishing this thought provoking book.
