Love Does

Bob Goff explains Christianity in one word: love. And it's not a noun; it's a verb, and what's more, it's an action word.

Goff shares lots of great stories from his life, and he relates them all to growing in his faith. The stories are incredible, almost unbelievable, and I laughed out loud sometimes at his boldness.

I saved some quotes from this book to think about some more:

“I used to want to fix people, but now I just want to be with them.”

“I get the invitation every morning when I wake up to actually live a life of complete engagement, a life of whimsy, a life where love does. I t doesn't come in an envelope. It's ushered in by a sunrise, the sound of a bird, or the smell of coffee drifting lazily from the kitchen. It's the invitation to actually live, to fully participate in this amazing life for one more day. Nobody turns down an invitation to the White House, but I've seen plenty of people turn down and invitation to fully live. “

“You don't need a plan; you just need to be present.”

“Most people need love and acceptance a lot more than they need advice.”

“While you're figuring out what God wants you to do next — go love everybody.”
