Publisher Description
The runaway New York Times best seller!
Can a simple concept shift your entire world? Bob certainty 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!

"What a delightful book to listen to! Bob Goff reads the audiobook himself and the experience is like sitting with him listening to him share his life stories and wisdom. I wanted to stay and hear more. He is a passionate and joyful man following Christ with his whole being."

— Angela, 11/27/2013 -
" I had mixed thoughts about this book. His whimsical, fly by the seat of your pants philosophy seems to work well for him. I am not like that; I like a plan and a fall back plan. I wish him well and goodness knows he is doing good work. "
— Florence, 11/26/2013 -
" This book is full of good ideas, inspiring thoughts and tons of humor. "
— Pat, 11/25/2013 -
" Despite some chapters engaging in a real depth of insight, some of the chapters ring false or fake and, every now and then, simplistic when they should be complex. A good read, and Bob Goff is an admirable person, but as a collection of essays about spirituality, take some and leave the others. "
— Caleb, 11/7/2013 -
" A fun collection of essays on life, family, serving and Christian truths. Abby Stevens recommended this to me; I listened to the essays over a weekend and a quick trip to Mason City. "
