—Allen Levi, Theo of GoldenIf you’ve been hearing about the novel Theo of Golden (Atria Books, 2025) lately, you’re far from alone. He arrives in the little town of Golden, Ga., and sees a gallery of portraits on the wall at the Chalice, the local coffee shop. But I will share this: The people Asher draws come to see God in one another’s faces, as well as their own. To truly see ourselves, and one another, as our God sees us. I ask you to believe that we imperfect people have everything we need, not only to see one another as God sees us but to become artists ourselves.
