Write-Up Wednesday {Love Does}


Love Does by Bob Goff
Living a secretly incredible life in an ordinary world



















Love.

What even is love? We talk aobut it. Watch movies about it. Sing and dance about it. Sometimes we tend to carelessly throw the word around like it's just a small feeling that comes when you see something cute that you really, really, want!

Love Does will take your view of love, flip it upside down, shake it all around and return to you one of the most exciting and do-able things in life. It doesn't matter your age, race, tall, short, smart, dumb... you can start to do the gift of love.

But here's another word to think about;

Whimsey.

Whimsey, you say. What is whimsey? An oldfashioned word that is rarely used. Almost extinct from our vocabulary. But it's one that is artfully woven through this dynamic book. Story after story is told. Stories that will leave you teary-eyed, or rolling on the floor with your gut cramping from laughing so hard.

Join Bob Goff, an ordinary man with an insane gift for writing in a way that keeps you smiling, flipping pages and thinking "surely this guys life is just a piece of fiction..." But it's not. I called him and talked with him on the phone. No joke.

Bob will challenge you stop writing and thinking but start doing.

Love Does. Love is action. It's the little things in life. Love can reach anybody, anywhere. Anyone can feel it and anyone can do it. This book even takes things a step further. You have dreams? Do them. Stop planning and starting acting.

Instead of writing long paragraphs and delving into complicated greek words, Bob speaks everyday english and tells stories of everyday, ordinary people. But jam-packed through the words and hilirious tales is truth. Truth about love. Truth about how Jesus Himself demonstrated the mysterious and wonderful word.

So stop thinking about it. Buy it. Read it. And leave a comment on how it changed your view of love.




And 100% of the proceeds from his book go to his ministry in Uganda. Read more about it!
