Discover a Secretly Incredible Life in an Ordinary World

By: Bob Goff

Narrated by: Bob Goff

Length: 5 hrs and 36 mins

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!

definitely worth the read

I like that the book was short chapter is based on fun experiences that he had had and how they shaped his life. It was extremely encouraging and almost contagious to want to do some of the same things but we all need to make our own Adventures!

Love Does is fantastic!

Bob Goff is an excellent story teller and gives many reminders that love is about doing. It’s not about getting a reaction or anything else. It truly just does. As Jesus does, we just give love where we feel led too.

Do not miss this book!!!

Loved it. Made me think, laugh, and cry! The personal stories spoke volumes to great ways to live life!

Amazing and inspirational.

Such a great easy read/listen. I’ve read the book before in a couple days and have just listened to it over the past 3 days. Bob Goff has led such an inspirational life and gets me in the spirit to join in loving people and accepting situations and taking the best of it. Highly suggest this book.

Inspirational Book

I have recommended this book to 3 friends allready. Bob is entertaining and challenges the passive nature we have as humans. At the end of each chapter I feel empowered to go and do love.

This is a must read for anyone...and I mean anyone. I am truly blessed to have met Bob before reading/listening to this book, because it added a new life to the stories. Thank you Bob, for righting your heart and experiences...

Don’t consider myself a Christian

I listened to this audio more eagerly and more engaged than when listening to most audio books. I enjoyed all of his stories. There are some laugh out loud parts and some heart warming parts that are really worth listening in for. Maybe it’s all heart warming. Bob is the first person I’ve listened to talk about Jesus and his faith that didn’t put me off or make it feel alien right away. Maybe it’s still a little alien. But I’m more intrigued about who Jesus was now, realizing I’ve never really learned about him or been interested in learning about him before. That’s because of Bob.
