Couldn't load pickup availability
Questions linger about Theo, a pleasant but mysterious stranger, after his arrival in the southern city of Golden.
Who is he, and why is he here?
He arrives early one spring and by chance - or is it? - he visits a coffee shop where 92 framed pencil portraits are on display. Inspired, Theo sets out on a mission of purchasing all the portraits one at a time and quietly bestowing them on their 'rightful owners.'
Stories are told; friendships are born; and lives are changed.
Theo of Golden is a beautifully crafted story about the power of creative generosity, the importance of wonder to a purposeful life, and the far-reaching possibilities of anonymous kindness.

I really liked this book until Theo’s funeral.While I appreciated that it was a Christian Memorial Service and I got it, I kind of felt duped that no one had written a review about that religious chapter.I felt like perhaps the book jacket or the epilogue should have had a little blurb to explain the biblical analogy to readers that are not familiar with Christianity.
While I rarely read fiction, this book was recommended and because of the line, "I"m very glad I get to be in the world with you", I decided that I would read it. My life has been forever touched by the words, phrases, quotes and emotions captured throughout this wonderful book. I am glad I didn't know much about the contents and I was pleasantly surprised at the end. In fact, I read it last week and am rereading it now to find every detail I may have over looked the first time and it is still a joy. Like beautiful art, song, words, love, beauty and goodness, it touches so much of our human emotions. I feel like my soul was emptied as well as filled.
By far, one of the best books I’ve read in years. Brought Christ to life and made me think of my own salvation and how I live daily. Thanks for writing this amazing book! ♥️I have read hundreds and hundreds of books and this is by far one of the best I have ever read.I didn’t want it to end!Would highly recommend this book to all, as I already have recommended to many friends
I just finished reading THEO OF GOLDEN by Allen Levi. It is a remarkably well written novel. The author has an incredible brilliant style of drawing the reader’s emotions into the story, making it feel like a real life story; sign of a great communicator. While reading the book, I kept checking to see how many pages I had left to go, because I didn’t want it to end. This story emphasizes true humility, gratefulness, kindness, love of humanity and of living life with purpose and meaning. Needless to say, he had me in tears during the last few chapters. Allen is a great writer based on how he engages his reader. Buy the book, read it, buy it again and give it away. It will change you and help to make a difference in many people’s lives. Wonderful read ❤️Maria N.
If I could, I would give this book 10 stars. I’ve done quite a bit of reading over my lifetime but this one definitely is in the top five. It’s unbelievable that this was the author‘s first book. It was a very inspiring read at many different times during my reading. Many quotes of which I made note of for future personal reference with numerous lessons that were shared in ways of clarity, inspiration, and love. The book flowed as a small river stream heading to the ocean. The author left no loose strings, but with many mysteries and surprises that were hidden and artistically revealed. Some surprises were happy, inspirational, heartfelt, and tragically sad. I highly recommend this book. Congratulations to the author!
