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!

A fun and inspiring read

I had never heard of Bob Goff but now I’m a big fan . He is full of humorous stories that pack a deeper meaning . With the things Bob has done in his life, he could totally toot his own horn, but in fact is the opposite , and is lovably humble in his storytelling and even a little self deprecating . This book was entertaining but also inspired to live my life in a more engaged way and see where I can give back to others

Amazing Must Read/Listen

This book is had me feeling joyful, motivated, emotional, and uplifted in each chapter. My sister had been telling me to read this book and Everyone Always" for well over a year now and I've only just got around to it. It's a 10/10 would recommend to anyone and everyone. Even if you're not religious, this book provides philosophies that everyone can agree are get behind for a happier world. Best of all, the stories are so well captured in words that they feel real to me even so I myself have not experienced them. If no one is telling you to read this book, then I will. Read this book, you won't be disappointed!

Love Is the answer

Great book with an excellent story line. The story touches your heart. It goes to show you do not have to be loud to be effective.

Excellent!

First of all, I always love books where the author is also the narrator. Secondly, I love the way he uses real life stories to teach us some important guides to how to walk in this life. This book is very encouraging and inspiring. The only thing I didn't like about it is that I wish it was longer. 😃
