Week 8: “The Timekeeper” by Mitch Albom (FI Series)

Do you often wish for more hours in your day because you just don’t have enough time to get everything finished on your “to-do list”?

In “The Timekeeper” by Mitch Albom, author, playwright, and screenwriter, he introduces his readers to a man who invented the world’s first clock, but who is punished for trying to measure God’s greatest gift; he is then banished to a cave for centuries and becomes “Father Time”–the Timekeeper.

Week 7: “The Lost Choice” by Andy Andrews (FI Series)

Life is full of choices…to choose good over evil, love over hate, forgiveness over bitterness.

Do you wish you could be given another chance, to choose differently, to gain wisdom and knowledge by the choices you make? Or do you regret the choices you have already made?

In “The Lost Choice” by Andy Andrews (best-selling novelist and speaker), he weaves both good and evil that happened throughout history using an ancient relic (artifact) that was found by one individual to portray a “parable of hidden potential of the human heart.” Lessons are imparted from men and women throughout time who have been profoundly affected by this relic.

The author gives profound wisdom (as expressed by a historical figure) that “the Lord God instructs us, leads us and inspires us, but He expects us to do something“–take action–with the gifts that He has given us and to take every opportunity as it arises in our lives. The choices we make, both past and present, will affect and change “everything for everyone.”

“The Lost Choice” is a thought-provoking book whose concepts assist us in evaluating our current choices, and encourages us to take risks that will ultimately affect not only ourselves but others as well in a positive way. This is a worth-while read.

Week 6: “The Noticer Returns” by Andy Andrews (FI Series)

Are you looking to create a “better life” for yourself and your family but have numerous questions before you totally understand what a “better life” means?

In “The Noticer Returns”, a sequel to “The Noticer”, by Andy Andrews, the character “Jones”–not mister–returns once again; but this time, he teaches a parenting class for a random group of people who embark on a life-changing journey that will, indeed, change their “perspective” for the rest of their lives.

Discussions arise on various topics with “Jones” and his adult students that include how to change the culture in which we live, teaching valuable lessons to our children as they become adults, and the end is only the beginning. It is a matter of “perspective” once again about every facet of your life.

This book is an incredible read and Andy Andrews writes it in a very believable way that it will leave you “wanting more” of this author’s talented writing.

Happy reading and blessings,

Week 5: “The Noticer” by Andy Andrews (FI Series)

Have you sought wisdom, knowledge, or hope for your current circumstances but can’t seem to find the answer(s)? Perhaps you need a change of heart and a different perspective.

In “The Noticer” by Andy Andrews, author of numerous books, including “The Traveler’s Gift” and “The Final Summit”, he introduces you to a mysterious man named “Jones” who offers wisdom and hope to many individuals who have none and who are caught up in their own demise. Jones is an old man–who appears and disappears throughout a period of time from the lives in one unsuspecting town–who has a gift for seeing people’s unfortunate situations with a “different perspective”–a broader view.

Filled with simple wisdom and hope, you can not help but examine your own heart and change your way of thinking about your own circumstances in life after reading this thought-provoking message.

Happy reading and blessings on you,
