Love Does
by Goff, Bob
Bob Goff does not write about faith as a set of rules or a heavy theological burden. Instead, he treats it like a series of eccentric, high-stakes adventures. This book is a collection of vignettes from his life, ranging from childhood pranks to international legal work, all unified by the idea that love is something you do, not something you just feel. The writing style is breezy and conversational, making it feel less like a sermon and more like a long conversation with a friend who is trying to convince you that life is meant to be lived with your hands full of purpose. It is the perfect read for anyone who feels stuck in a routine and needs a nudge toward spontaneity, kindness, and a more hands-on approach to connecting with the people around them.
