Leo Bormans, auteur van The World Book of Happiness, Love & Hope, over Het is altijd nu:

Dit is een bijzonder warm en inspirerend levensverhaal van een botsende jonge man die herstelt van zichzelf en leert leven zonder spijt. Een levensverhaal gebaseerd op een authentiek leven: met veel vallen en opstaan. Geen Amerikaanse peptalk of onrealistisch optimisme. Herkenbaar dus.'

Zomer 2007. De hyperactieve Jeroen Walravens valt van een Spaans hotelbalkon en knalt met zijn hoofd tegen het trottoir. Hij raakt in een diepe coma, waar hij pas een maand later weer uit ontwaakt. Met ernstige hersenschade, waardoor zijn lichaam niet meer mee wilt, zijn geest het laat afweten en spreken heel moeizaam gaat. De Jeroen die hij ooit was bestaat niet meer, zijn leven is uitgewist. In deze duistere tijden ontdekt hij dat opnieuw beginnen niet enkel moet, maar vooral mag. Met een onvoorstelbare wilskracht bouwt hij een nieuw leven op uit het niets.
Het is altijd nu gaat over iemand die zich sterk moest houden en uiteindelijk ook echt sterk werd, sterker dan hij ooit voor mogelijk had gehouden. Het is een onwaarschijnlijk reisverhaal langs moeilijke mentale en fysieke obstakels, maar ook letterlijk langs Cambodja, IJsland, Nepal en zelfs de Mount Everest.
Dit boek is een bron van inspiratie. Behalve zijn verhaal deelt Jeroen ook de inzichten waardoor hij zijn situatie kon overstijgen en door zijn begrenzingen breken. Want wie je ook bent en hoe je situatie ook is, je kunt jezelf echt heruitvinden en de beste versie van jezelf worden. Hij bewijst het elke dag.

Jeroen Walravens (1986) runt vandaag het coachingbureau: Take2.cc. Hij werkt als coach, trainer en spreker. Meer info: www.take2.cc

Makes a great graduation gift

It's a classic! I bought it for my granddaughter's kindergarten graduation. I've asked her teacher to write a note in it.

Meaningful, Enjoyable and Uplifting
Format: Paperback
I don’t read a lot of novels, but after hearing recommendation after recommendation, I finally picked up Theo of Golden—and it absolutely lived up to the hype. Alan Levi tells a story that is inspiring, wholesome, thoughtful, and genuinely fun to read. The characters felt real, the writing was engaging, and the story carried deeper themes about life, purpose, and relationships without ever feeling forced. I also know Alan through Young Life, which made reading the book even more special for me personally. If you’re looking for a meaningful novel that is both enjoyable and uplifting, I highly recommend this book.

a swim through literary magic
Format: Kindle
Reading this book reminds me of jumping into a pool of water and the way the water tickles your skin as you descend into it, then surrounds you and totally encompasses you in its liquid wonder. There is so much here: beautiful metaphors that conjure up both visual images and the emotions that accompany it. Wonderful character development: presented with gentleness, respect and grace. An intricate plot that carries the reader along lightly and buoyantly, not calling attention to itself, but carrying through to the end. The book itself is a portrait of Theo, in keeping with the portrait style described within.

Beautiful and Thought Provoking
Format: Kindle
This book: ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ I absolutely loved this book! I tried reading it about 2 months ago and couldn’t get into it after reading a few pages. Then my neighborhood book club picked it so I decided to try listening to it on audible. I was hooked immediately as the narrator had such a warm, calming voice that perfectly captured the heartwarming and sincere nature of the story. I was so invested in this book that I listened to it every moment I could whether it was while I was doing chores around the house or driving. Then when I couldn’t listen to it so as to not disturb others I had my face in my kindle just wanting more and more. THIS BOOK should be read by everyone as we all need a bit of Theo in our lives. Theo is a wound with a voice, a messenger from heaven, the epitome of kindness, and the friend that you didn’t know you needed. 😢❤️

The end is only the beginning
Format: Kindle
Theo appears in a small fictional Georgia town named Golden. He’s a distinguished old man with a mysterious past. He’s a quiet observer; then he makes friends in a coffee house and there pursues a plan to personally gift every portrait drawing on the wall to the townsfolk simply pictured there. As an artist, I appreciated the detailed descriptions of each face, and then the invited dialogue with each person behind those drawings. The characters Theo gets to know are varied and storied. Of even more value to me was Theo’s visit to the studio of the originator of all the portraits. Layers start getting unpeeled in this tale. I started to highlight phrases when the motivation for doing the work got uncovered between them. There were times when I felt the main character was “too good” to be believable. I personally appreciated the subtle (and sometimes not so subtle) references to Theo being a Christ figure. But remember that Jesus was the one who said “woe to you when all men speak well of you”. The Theo who is pictured in this book, and the reactions of most around him is maybe a little too syrupy? A friend who is in my book club felt herself being “manipulated” when reading this book. I ponder that. There was a plethora of reactions to Jesus too, but I don’t think any honest quester ever felt manipulated. He let them walk freely away. For me the significance of each face was the key theme, and each face held sorrow. There are some beautiful lines in the book around this. The ambitions: true and false in the “art world” also the business world resonated also. The Pastor’s words during a funeral at the end were valuable. And the little girl’s imagination (prompted by Theo) of all the musical notes flying on their wings into the chandeliers so that they can sing again later was a wonderful metaphor. There are some excellent passages in this book if you remain in it. As one grandmother said in this tale: “Baby, they’s justice and they’s mercy. If you not sure what to do and you gotta choose one or the other, I say always go the mercy way. If you make a mistake, make it for mercy. Bad mercy don’t hurt nearly like bad justice and always remember, the eye of God can see.”
