For the tough times...another great book...

If you are a Max Lucado fan you will love this book. It is quintessential Lucado. It is an easy read and would be appropriate for anyone going through a difficult time. I recently gave the book to a friend who was struggling with circumstances in her life that seemed to be out of control. She found the truth offered in the book by Lucado

Max takes complex theological issues and communicates them in a way that makes it understandable to all. (Lucado has an amazing gift of doing this.) His style is like "comfort food" to the soul.

Time to READ...The NOTICER by Andy Andrews


"Sometimes all a person needs is a little perspective" I found this book enjoyable and challenging. The Noticer is a MUST READ book. Andy has described people from all walks of life in his book. I found myself "hooked" in chapter one and I couldn't put it down.

The main character, Jones, a career noticer weaves his way in and out of the lives of many people in a small Southern town. I found myself often resonating with the characters. Then I would be challenged by the perspective Jones would offer.

My favorite piece of perspective from Jones occurs in chapter one, "The view is great on the mountaintops - they're also cold and rocky. To grow we must come off of the mountain and go through the valley.... Think. Learn. Pray. Plan. Dream. For soon... you will become."


This is a book you will want to share with your friends. I know I will be giving it as gifts.The Noticer: Sometimes, all a person needs is a little perspective.
