"Without a doubt Tales from Sawyerton Springs is one of the funniest books I've ever read. My wife and I still quote lines from it, especially the story about the Little League coach with a speech impediment."

"When stressed out at work I read one of the stories and am refreshed. There are no grand philosophies or special mystery cures to life's ills. Its magic is that it offers none. It's just everyday people who carry on despite little setbacks, quirks, and mistakes in judgment minus what most modern entertainment would call exciting--bashing, or stepping on someone's feelings."

"Andy Andrews has a wonderful, whimsical way of telling stories in which you'll see yourself, your family and your friends in his characters and situations. He places these colorful characters in Sawyerton Springs...a gentle community...in a time of basic common sense, light-hearted fun and simple truths. He'll tug at your heartstrings; he'll make you laugh out loud; and he'll make you think about how life doesn't have to always be so complex.

If you've ever seen Andy perform before, you know he has a mischievous streak in him...you can actually imagine the sparkle in his eyes as he tells these stories. I've bought multiple copies of this book as gifts for friends. I can't think of a better compliment to an author than sharing his book with folks you love. Enjoy....I promise you won't be disappointed!!!"

"This collection of warm and witty short stories will please anyone who appreciates or longs for the charm of life in small town America. The characters that populate Sawyerton Springs are memorable, as are their antics. You'll be glad you've met Billy Pat, Ginny, Miss Edna and all the rest. You'll laugh so hard you'll cry, especially at "Baseball, Boys, and Bad Words," an innocent tale of the funniest thing in the world to young boys. I especially appreciated the wholesome fun of these coming-of-age stories of a Baptist's minister's son. These tales will warm your heart, as you relive or visit this lovely little town where you'll wish you could live. "

"Wow, I couldn't stop howling after I read this book! A book that I have read several times, one that can teach lessons without "trying to teach lessons"! Good, easy reading for anyone who enjoys down home values."

"Tales to laugh and cry along with, tales that require repeating to friends and even strangers, Andrews' stories about hometown life are just plain wonderful. Simple anecdotes about holidays, prank-playing boys, and small-town gossip fill these pages. Growing up as the son of the Baptist minister did not seem to keep Andrews from any mischief along the way. Obviously, his father allowed him to learn some lessons on his own, but that did not prevent the preacher from wryly imparting his moral lessons from the pulpit. Fun to read over and over again. "

"After reading "The Traveler's Gift", I bought a few more of Andy's books. "Tales from Sawyerton Springs" was one, and I finished this one in 2 days! I am from Gulf Shores, Alabama, and found that I personally know one of the people in many of the stories, and can honestly see all of it happening just as it was told. This was another amazing book! I can't wait to get to the next ones!"

"I'm a teenager and with that title a few bad images come to mind. I was a person that did not know where his life was going and I was told to read this book... when i first started reading it i got and couldn't put it down. I loved it! I later found out that he has more books. I bought them all, and I now have a good idea where I'm going and where i am. If Andy reads this message I just wanna say thank you. You've helped me out so much with the Storms of Perfection and the Funny story's (baseball boys and bad words)."
