From New York Times bestselling author Andy Andrews comes the return of one of our favorite characters: Jones, the Noticer. Jones’ wise stories have comforted and guided millions of readers. In Just Jones, navigate the hope that the impossible can come true.
At 3:29 a.m. on May 22, a telephone rings in Orange Beach, Alabama. Breaking the sleepy silence, a hastily whispered message heralds the news that readers have been waiting on for seven years: Jones is back in town. Apparently, however, he is also in jail.
The old man is tight-lipped about the circumstances surrounding his brief incarceration. After arriving to bail him out, Andy is shocked to discover that his trusted friend has already opened an unusual business in one of the resort town’s most high-profile shopping districts.
As the town moves from spring to summer, a practical joker is becoming bolder and more inventive with every prank that is pulled. Could Jones be behind some of it? Why? What’s the truth about that four-hundred-pound table in his store? And why does it look as if every person Jones meets has a secret they will reveal only to him?
With melodic writing and a whimsical, authentic voice, Andy and Jones take you on a sometimes hilarious journey to discover the heart of people and learn a few valuable lessons along the way, including:
the importance of perspective
the power of connection to create peace in a community
and the ability you have to make the impossible come true
Just Jones is book #3 in The Noticer series, following The Noticer and The Noticer Returns. Each book is a standalone fictional novel based on true events, following the character of Jones, a mysterious elderly man with endless wisdom who always appears to show up exactly when he’s needed most.
My thoughts:
What a fantastic book to read! I was completely mesmerized by this book in the Noticer series. I have not read any of the other books in this series, but don't let this stop you from picking up this beautiful book. Just Jones is a fantastic story that is both mesmerizing and captivating. Lots of great stories and life lessons along the way. This was a really quick read that I enjoyed and found to be eye opening. I now understand why Andy Andrews has such a loyal following - a true master storyteller. I am going to be purchasing this book for friends and family to gift.
Wonderful!!
Review
'Just Jones is lightning in a bottle--pure genius on paper. If you can imagine a hilarious mystery filled with useful wisdom that is fresh and new, you've just conjured up this book. Andy Andrews is our generation's Mark Twain. Just Jones is the latest proof.' --Dave Ramsey, national bestselling author
'Just Jones is a rare accomplishment--a mystery that is at times touching but often so funny that I laughed out loud. When one wraps an awesome story around wisdom with the power to change lives . . . well, how many great books can you name like that? Just Jones is a masterpiece.' --Michael Hyatt, New York Times bestselling author
'In much the same way Andy Andrews presents on stage--making him one of the most sought-after speakers in America--in Just Jones he weaves a rollicking sidewinder of a tale that'll delight his fans anew. Get to know a troubled girl with a funny name who experiences a character arc rarely manifested in contemporary fiction.' --Jerry B. Jenkins, novelist and biographer
''A jail is also a near-perfect starting gate.' And with this bit of wisdom, Jones, whom we have come to know as the noticer, leads us into another can't-stop-reading story. Or is it a biography of the reader? Andy Andrews is the master of telling tales that end up being all about us. His newest weaving, Just Jones, is no exception. I dare you to read it! Then order a dozen copies to send to people who are longing for someone to tell them a story about themselves as they could be.' --Gloria Gaither, writer, lyricist
'Andy's work has profoundly impacted me, and his newest release, Just Jones, reminds us that just because something hasn't yet been done, doesn't mean that it can't be accomplished. After reading this book, you will not only be more convinced than ever that the only limitations on your life are the ones you put on yourself but also realize that now is the time to stop making excuses, start making a difference, and begin fully living your life.' --John O'Leary, #1 national bestselling author, podcast host, and speaker
'This latest soon-to-be-classic from Andy Andrews continues to challenge us to think about life and our current situations from different and unique perspectives. And always with the focus of helping us evolve, grow, and prosper. In addition, the story that surrounds and propels all this valuable information is one of the best (and most fun) you'll ever read.' --Steve Jacobson, CEO Fairway Mortgage
'I will share Just Jones with my family, team, and friends! It's a very engaging story that effortlessly teaches lessons and will make each of us and, therefore, the world a better place to live.' --Grant Woods, PhD, wildlife biologist and GrowingDeer.tv host
