Win Theo of Golden by Allen Levi

Theo of Golden
by Allen Levi

One spring morning, a stranger arrives in the small southern city of Golden. No one knows where he has come from…or why…

His name is Theo. And he asks a lot more questions than he answers.

Theo visits the local coffeehouse, where ninety-two pencil portraits hang on the walls, portraits of the people of Golden done by a local artist. He begins purchasing them, one at a time, and putting them back in the hands of their "rightful owners." With each exchange, a story is told, a friendship born, and a life altered.

A story of giving and receiving, of seeing and being seen, Theo of Golden is a beautifully crafted novel about the power of creative generosity, the importance of wonder to a purposeful life, and the invisible threads of kindness that bind us to one another. Reviews

"Readers are encouraged to see those around them through Theo's eyes, focusing on their gifts rather than their failings. People of faith will almost certainly find inspiration here; Theo firmly believes in the goodness of God and encourages the faith of others by word and by deed. While there is a Christian slant, the book is never preachy, and the author's message of compassion is universal. From a literary standpoint, Theo of Golden does have a couple of weaknesses. There are a few unpleasant characters Theo interacts with, and they are incredibly one-dimensional. My big complaint, though, is that I felt there could have been a stronger narrative arc." - BookBrowse
