Kinkade has succeeded in his goal with me!
This book is incredibly uplifting in spirit! When you look at it, the pictures soothe your soul. You truly want to be in the picture. I had heard this about Thomas Kinkade's work. The true bonus for me with this book is the writing. It is as clear and true and inviting as the artwork depicted on its pages. Mr. Kinkade gently and beautifully reminds us to contemplate and practice what is truly most important in our lives. Each time I open this book to read and view its pages, it brings literal tears to my eyes, there is that much Truth and beauty in it which caresses my being. My gratitude and blessings go to the creators of this true work of art.

The perfect Mother's Day Gift! A feast for the eyes & soul!
Thomas Kincade makes you believe that "simpler times" are within reach for each of us! Not a vision from the past, but an attainable goal even in our frenetic modern world!

Kincade gives practical suggestions from lessons he's learned in his own life: setting priorities, learning to say 'no', slowing down, creating your own private retreat.

And throughout Kincade's heart-warming narrative, flows a peaceful, gentle stream of his artwork. Paintings that capture the essence of nature & draw you into its beauty.

Withdraw to your own private retreat & take "Simpler Times" with you!

Simpler Times by Thomas Kinkade
At the college I work at I teach classes on personal development and stress management through hardiness training. Recently, in class, we were discussing whether it is possible to experience joy when in the midst of challenges and trials. Through beautiful artwork and inspired narrative in "Simpler Times," Mr. Kinkade demonstrates how one can experience peace and joy in a hectic world. The book was like food for my soul. Thank you.
