Coffee With God: Paintings And Spiritual Essays

Book Synopsis: “We are creative, spiritual beings here to uncover our potential.” — David LaPorte

Coffee with God: Paintings and Spiritual Essays by David LaPorte is ultimately about love. It’s about how to be more creative, spiritually awake, and aware of the beauty of life itself. Life is a creative journey, a reflection of all we value, allowing us to transcend our differences and unite on a higher level.

So drop your worries and concerns, pour yourself a cup of coffee, and another cup for God, and let the author’s paintings and accompanying meditations uplift and lighten your day. We all need more inspiration and levity in our lives.

Each of LaPorte’s paintings tells a story that helps unravel some of the deeper mysteries of this universe. The Impressionist paintings reflect the subtlety of the divinity within us, while the less concrete abstractions allow our imaginations to soar.

Although the essays are written in a simple and sometimes allegorical style, they are not just words. They carry a deeper spiritual meaning, reminding us of the truths that have withstood the test of time. Once we step out of our own way, our concerns and worries along with our negative and doubting ego dissolve like a morning fog in the rising sun. We need nothing outside to verify it. It’s all within.

So enjoy this book. Let the art take you on a spiritual journey and read the essays to inspire you to create. Dream big. Dare. Follow your heart by trusting in something higher to guide you every step of the way. Keep the book on your coffee table or bedside as a guide or roadmap for your own creative growth, because, after all, we are here to create and become our best selves. Nothing will satisfy that until the ego loses its grip and our creative self takes center stage.
