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!

Amazing stories and uplifting inspiration.

This book shines such a great light on the simplicity of loving others and just 'doing' something. I recommend everyone reads this book and feels inspired. #Audible1

Simple yet Insightful

Each chapter is its own story about Bob's incredible life. At the end of each chapter, he ties the moral into God and Christian living. The chapters are so cute and can be listened to in isolation, which makes it great to share with other people. This book is positive and uplifting.

this was an awesome book that has helped me become

this book rekindled in me once again to do rather than just to exist. We become Shackled by our wealth and belongings of North American mindset and need to release those things so that we are fully engaged as God's hands and feet.

A Must Read...Over and Over

Of the many books I’ve read and listened to on how we should live out our lives and know what love looks like, this book ranks as one of the best. Bob Goff is a gifted narrator and author who openly shares his life’s experiences. His genuineness comes clearly as he navigates the listener through encouraging and heartfelt stories. I also appreciate how he skillfully mixes in humor to keep the material light yet keep the seriousness of the topic of love in focus.

This is one of those books that will be on my virtual shelf for reading over and over again to fully absorb how to practically apply Christ’s main command to love one another.
