Publisher's Summary

The runaway New York Times best seller!

Can a simple concept shift your entire world? Bob certainly thinks so. When it comes to loving your neighbors, rather than focusing on having the "right answers" or checking the "right boxes", what if you decide to simply do love? To shamelessly show love and grace to those around you? What would that look like?

It might look like spending 16 days in the Pacific Ocean with five guys and a crate of canned meat. It might look like taking your kids on a world tour to eat ice cream with heads of state. It might look like taking a road trip with a stressed-out college student—even though you just got married a few days before.

In Love Does, Bob shows you:

  • how to live a fully engaged life;
  • how to stop putting things off until “next time” and instead find your place of imagination, whimsy, and wonder today;
  • that God usually chooses ordinary people to get things done.

When love does, life gets interesting. Light and fun, unique and profound, the lessons drawn from Bob's life and attitude in this collection of stories just might inspire you to be secretly incredible, too. If you love Love Does, don’t forget to check out Everybody, Always and Dream Big for more of Bob’s delightful and inspiring stories!

Inspiring

Wow- Bob, Maria and their friends are inspiring people to learn from. Honest, simple, costly and genuine- love does is a challenge to the core. Thanks for all the work Bob- this book has nudged me a few degrees closer to who Jesus wants me to be….uncomplicated and real. Thank you.

Nice story of different ways of love does

Good book. I read dream big first and absolutely loved it so when I read this one of Bob Goff’s I didn’t enjoy it as much. But definitely gives you of great examples and story of love does. He’s an awesome man with a great big heart.

Not bad

Not bad, but not nearly as amazing as others will have you believe. Needed to be longer in my opinion.

A new perspective!

This has been a great book to listen to whilst tinkering around the house. The stories are entertaining and I really Love that Bob sees everything from a point of view that reflects just how good our God is in every situation! Its a beautiful and fun way to practice gratitude and growing that personal relationship with God.

A lovely listen

I am not someone who considers myself religious at all. But I really enjoyed this book. It’s meaning, even with god heavily based, is one that more people should love by. I finished this book with a smile and I different outlook on life.
