He doesn't just talk about change, he really is change, as Love Does chronicles in such a vivid way.

Love Does has a kind of 'north star' effect that will push you to refocus your life and energy on what is most significant. It doesn't just invite you to respond with your God-given potential, it invites you to become a part of what God can do beyond your potential." --Reggie Joiner, Founder and CEO of Orange "We liked the book a lot. Mostly, the balloons on the cover. The rest was pretty good too. Lots of stories about how God helps us." --Aedan, Asher and Skye Peterson ages 13, 12 and 9 "This may look like a book. It's not.

Love Does.... Doesn't quite capture the sense of daring portrayed in Goff's life.
We are reading a chapter a morning together after breakfast. Bob Goff has the ability to write about small pieces of his life experiences, some almost unbelievable, with humor and serious application to life. He has lived life on the edge and with grit most of us don't manage. He is funny. His applications for living life in faith with God are helpful but not guilt-producing in any way. I recommend this book for light reading and meaningful application to life.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
