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!

Touched my heart

I really didn’t know what to expect with a title like Love Does. What I got was a number of clear examples that a heart full of love would do. So- the title was perfect. It’s been a couple of weeks since I listened, and I still find myself reviewing the stories in my head.
I keep asking myself with different situations, what does Love call me to do? How do I best reflect love to this person or in this situation?
I’m so thankful that I listened. I’m the better for it.

A great read

Easy listen. Love his energy and stories. The only problem is I felt it ended on a flat note.

Practical faith in action

So easy to imagine myself as a Christian like him. But enjoyed it and listen twice. Highly recommend it for easy listening to solidify your faith in a godly life

I love Bob Goff

Listening to him read his book is captivating. He tells his story as if I'm sitting across from him one on one. I laugh and cry all while sitting in the presence of a friend. It feels like I'm saying goodbye at the end of every book and now when I read his books I hear his voice as I read along. Thanks Bob Goff, you rock!

amazing book

I loved the book, many times I was moved by laughter and joy listening to Bob talk honestly I would love to meet the man myself. I would highly recommend those on the fence to just go for it.

Sad It’s Over

I loved hearing Bob Goff’s voice telling his whimsical stories. I was so sad when the book came to an end. I have so many ideas of things to do with my kids and perspectives to change in my daily life.

Share it with everyone you know!

Like Jesus Bob connects stories with life and opens up a relationship with others in an amazingly loving way! Easy listening with plenty of humor in many of his experiences. Excellent reading!

Small acts create huge change with love

Actions speak louder than words and Bob Goff's story about how to take action with love and an idea is very inspiring. Everyone can implement this in their lives.

One of the best books you didn't know you needed

if you haven't read this book or listened to it, just pick it up. That's kindav what this whole book is about. Just do it

A quick read so you can get out there and do!

Very inspiring stories from Bob's life which illuminate Jesus teachings about love and doing. Well worth the time the listen to Bob's infectious telling of tails and drawing out the simple life lessons they illustrate. Been frustrated by people calling themselves Christians, have to listen to this! Burning with the desire to be part of the kingdom, same advice...
