Andy Andrews provides inspiration on nearly every page of this book. I was drawn in from the first page which is not a usual occurrence for me. Perspective is something that plagues everyone when it comes to looking through our emotions or scars. This book provides freedom if you are willing to relish in the stories and understand the personal application. People are anchored by living in their personal reality and failing to offer grace, empathy, and a healthy dose of Philippians 4:8.
By taking the reader from person to person and digging into their lives, they will become more aware of their own surroundings and choices. Andrews takes this book as a perfect opportunity to share how his own life was changed by simply changing his perspective.
I believe Mr. Andrews helps us to apply that much needed biblical truth. Too often our eyes focus on our wounds instead of our Saviors; our pain instead of His. When our eyes are off focus we respond with our emotions in our own idea of reality. Things are not always as they seem but as soon as you look beyond what you believe to be real you will find the truth!
The journey in this book is one that each reader will willingly walk and leave blessed. Since you must first think of yourself in order to relate to these stories be sure to find yourself on the good and bad side of each person. This is a great read I would recommend again and again.
Perspective can be as simple as looking through a lens of a different shade.

"Too often our eyes focus on our wounds instead of our Saviors; our pain instead of His." AMEN! Very well said!
The concept of perspective is so prevalent to me. Mine is SO off sometimes, and when it is, it starts a roller coaster of thinking that quickly becomes way out of whack.
Great review; interesting book!
Chel,
Thanks for coming by and introducing yourself. I've enjoyed viewing your 'perspective' today. btw, I'm reading The Noticer now and am really enjoying it. Good review you gave on it.
