Lightposts for Living  In my paintings I try to create worlds of tranquillity, joy, and beauty. My prayer is that the principles in this book will help each of us lead lives that radiate these same qualities. - Thomas Kinkade Thomas Kinkade's idyllic visions have become icons of hope and comfort to a culture increasingly stressed by the frenzied pace of modern living. His paintings beckon us to explore a world more peaceful than our own. Along the way we discover flower-draped gateways that open to paths leading ever onward ... quaint homes that welcome us with glowing windows ... peaceful streams winding through verdant forests ... and, of course, light - a light that takes away the darkness of our days. Now Thomas Kinkade uses inspiring words, as well as his art, to turn on the lights in your life. Lightposts for Living, published by Time Warner Bookmark both as a 256-page hardcover volume (click here for sample chapter) or an audiobook read by Thom himself, is a guide to the primary, life-affirming values expressed in his paintings: home, family, faith in God, the beauty of nature, and the joy of a simpler way of living. The chapters of Lightposts for Living serve like old-fashioned lightposts leading down a weathered walkway. Each illuminates fundamental choices that will enrich your days and keep you safely on the path. And from first to last, each one illuminates the thoughtful decisions, positive changes, and simplifying options that transform a hurried, stressful life into hours filled with serenity, accomplishment, and wonder. Kinkade's specific recommendations for a shining life are as unexpected as the surprising details tucked into his paintings (such as that "N" he hides in each work in tribute to his wife, Nanette). Some of his suggestions are sweeping and life changing. But none are difficult or impossible. And all are deeply, movingly wise. A book in which Thomas Kinkade candidly shares his feelings and daily routine as well as his insights, Lightposts for Living is a sincere gift from the heart, allowing you to walk the path lit by Kinkade's vision of how good life can be: a vista shimmering with sunlight breaking through clouds, the promise of romance, and wonderful adventures waiting just beyond an open gate.
