About this listen
THE MILLION-COPY BESTSELLING PHENOMENON
'A word-of-mouth smash hit' New York Times
'For anything to be truly good, there must be love in it. Nothing is what it's supposed to be if love is not at the core.'
One morning, a stranger arrives in the town of Golden. No one knows who he is or where he came from…
His name is Theo and he's arrived there by chance – or has he? He visits the local coffeehouse, where ninety-two pencil portraits hang on the walls, portraits by a local artist of the people of Golden. 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 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.
Readers love Theo of Golden…

As the book reached its final third I started to talk to friends about what I read. I became mindful of a verse in the Bible , Phillipians 4:8
“Whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable- if anything is excellent or praiseworthy- think about such things. “
I am a lover of crime and thriller books but have found in Theo of Golden a place to be still, find rest and let my thoughts be filled with all of the above. I’m so grateful for this experience.
Beautiful,a piece of art in itself.
