The book I recommend to everyone
This book is funny, insightful, motivating, and challenges you. By far the best book I have had the joy of reading and can't wait to DO more in life. Hope Mr Goff picks up his pen again soon.

Description
Now a New York Times Bestseller!
As a college student he spent 16 days in the Pacific Ocean with five guys and a crate of canned meat. As a father he took his kids on a world tour to eat ice cream with heads of state. He made friends in Uganda, and they liked him so much he became the Ugandan consul. He pursued his wife for three years before she agreed to date him. His grades weren't good enough to get into law school, so he sat on a bench outside the Dean’s office for seven days until they finally let him enroll.
Bob Goff has become something of a legend, and his friends consider him the world's best-kept secret. Those same friends have long insisted he write a book. What follows are paradigm shifts, musings, and stories from one of the world’s most delightfully engaging and winsome people. What fuels his impact? Love. But it's not the kind of love that stops at thoughts and feelings. Bob's love takes action. Bob believes Love Does.
When Love Does, life gets interesting. Each day turns into a hilarious, whimsical, meaningful chance that makes faith simple and real. Each chapter is a story that forms a book, a life. And this is one life you don't want to miss.
Light and fun, unique and profound, the lessons drawn from Bob's life and attitude just might inspire you to be secretly incredible, too.

“Every once in a while someone like Bob Goff shows up to remind us that some things matter a lot more than others. 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

Must Read
Wow.. what an excellent book. It has opened my eyes to how I want to experience life, and how so want my son to experience life.. I love how Mike found God in every aspect of what he was doing and how we can do the same..He allowed God to work in him and through him, putting people and situations in place to align with His vision. I am truly encouraged and ready to move.. I will definitely be sharing this book with others.

Inspiration of a different kind
This book, which is an incredible collection of stories, hits the nail on the head when it comes to articulating what "love" really is and more accurately, what it does. It's a light read that will also challenge you to live a life of abundance- the kind of life we were all meant to live.

Amazing book
This book is one of the best-- will bring lots of laughter and amazement as you read about the wild "go for it" adventures of Bob and his friends and family. Many great inspiring lessons about living a life at full throttle...

How Love Does
This was an amazing, inspirational, challenging book. It really touches the nerve of what Love really is. Love doesn't talk about doing things...love does! If you are looking for a book that challenges you to become venerable with the way you look at Love, then this is a great book to read! Bob does such a great job of tying these ideas of "doing" with the principles that Christ taught us while he was on earth. Very good book! I highly recommend it!

A Must Read and Do
This is a must read book! It's fun, well-written, and so real! But it doesn't stop there. It encourages that next step: do! Love is an action, not just a word! Love really does!

Through Bob's great storytelling voice, this book shares the Gospel over and over again. With a simple and reachable approach, Bob reminded me of God's tremendous love for me and my need to daily share that love with others. A fantastic read that I will come back to many times!

Bob the Encourager
This book is full of reasons and examples why we need to get out of our comfort zones and into the lives of the less fortunate and the disadvantaged. Bob is an encourager, has a great sense of humor, and I am very thankful to have read this book. Well done sir!

Amazing
This book is amazing. I enjoyed reading it so much. Bob Goff knows what he is doing in life. Don't be faked by the title though, it is not one of those "Sunday School" books with a cheeky story. It is a book of life, mistakes, adventure, love. Bob teaches us what love is and how love works. I don't personally know him, but my teacher does. Incan't wait to meet him. He sounds like a pretty cool guy.

Must Read.
If you're looking for a book that how's you how to be a better person instead of just talking about it, look no further. Goff's stories will take you through every emotion you have in your heart. Thanks Bob.

Life changer
What if I said there was a book that would show you just how to put Jesus's words into actions? Would you read it? Well this is the book. Love Does opens up Bob Goff's life of capers and caring to nudge us closer to what we are all here for, to love!

Awe Inspiring!
An amazing collection of personal stories that show how to live life smack in the middle of God's reverse economy. Bob has an infectious love for Jesus that gives him an inspiring love for people - and doing life with them. And that's what Love Does.

Love Does
I have to say that Love Does truly has inspired me to be more like Jesus. I know that may sound superficial but when you read this book you will know exactly what I mean. It will make you laugh, cry, feel like crap, inspire you and remind you to be like Jesus. It messed me up good!! What I liked most about it, is how the author shared his life stories and tied them in with his lessons in knowing and understanding who Jesus is. It makes you want to run out and change the world......one person at a time!! I want to really encourage you to read it!! Lets all start a revolution and go out in LOVE!!!
