Publisher's summary

This is a book about discovering what we really need. There are a lot of second-best options, but we weren't made to live a second-best life. Finding what we actually need is different than what we are often offered. There are many books full of opinions, steps and programs. This isn't one of them. This is about craving the things that matter. Things that don't just work, but last.

In a life that may seem to be all fun and games with an endless supply of balloons, author Maria Goff shows how this life is also lived with intentionality, passionate purpose, and a little planning - all of which make a life rich in legacy. But she had to figure out the help she needed first in order to live the beautiful life God wanted for her and wants for us.

Love Lives Here is a collection of stories that include the ways Maria and her husband, Bob, navigated family their way, without clear instructions or a road map. It's about what they learned to make their lives meaningful and whimsical and how they created a space for their family to grow together while they reached outward.

What a joy to finally meet "Sweet Maria"!

This is a work about true transparency and following God,not the world.I LOVED it! Our family read LOVE DOES by Bob Goff and I have seen Bob at speaking engagements. After learning quite a good deal about "Sweet Maria", it was wonderful to hear her tell God's story of their lives in her words. I admire and respect the Goff family and pray for them often.

Love does live here.

I really connected to Sweet Maria. As a woman, and mother, there is no greater value than building the home for love. I’ve compared my value in the past to what others are doing, but, now feel a bit more validated to know my life’s work is pouring into “my people”. Thanks, Maria for sharing your heart, fears and love with us. I love what you said about home being a landing pad and launching pad. God bless you and Bob.

Welcome Home

Another Goff book touches my heart beyond words. You instill love and hope! I could barely stay focused the last chapter as all I could think is how can I start an annual retreat for women and how do I get Sweet Maria there.

So perfect

This was the best audio book I have listened to. So encouraging and uplifting! So thankful the author read it herself. It made it more endearing!

Great book!

I loved this book! Maria Goff is down to earth & someone I can identify with! I always love when the author reads their own work - It feels & sounds more personal. I would highly recommend this book!

What a Wonderful Life... I mean book

Having read Bob Goff's two books and meeting him twice, I knew his wife had to be a very special woman, and Sweet Maria is all that and more. Full of whimsy and humor but most of all wisdom and love. Don't miss this book!
