Well, I can say that I haven’t read too many Christian themed books that have fictional elements, but the Noticer really brought some good points to light.
Not too long ago, I found myself trapped in a “the glass is half empty” mindset, but after reading this book, I have noticed that lately I have been thinking about life much more like Jones. That is, with a different perspective, and to be happy with the things you have – rather than focusing on the things you are lacking. Although this idea seems like a simplistic one to overcome, the worldly things we encounter every day as Christians makes it easy to forget about how great our lives really are. Like it’s stated in the book, life is all about perspective.
For those who say this book was a real page turner, I agree. I read it in two sittings over a pot of coffee. Although I think the book was maybe 50 pages too long (the point was made very early on in the book), it has a nice flow to it which enables you to get sucked into it rather easily. I would recommend it to someone who has a few hours to kill on a plane, or car ride as it is an easy book to understand with distractions around.
