Book Review: Love Does by Bob Goff

Bob Goff's book Love Does is exceptional! Easy-to-read chapters taking just a few minutes to read start with a provocative two line quote, continue with an interesting, often entertaining adventure tale, and draw a challenging spiritual conclusion (aka punch line). From the Young Life worker who first spent time with Bob, showing him the love offered by Immanual to his waiting in the hall story eventually allowing him to enter law school, Goff's stories are a wonderful blend of humorous and touching, illustrating precisely a powerful spiritual truth. Indeed, he accomplishes his purpose of explaining how to live an incredible life in an ordinary world. Once you start reading, you certainly cannot end mid-chapter, and its practically torture to put the book down after only a couple chapters. At the same time, it is consistent and biblically accurate making a superb resource that might be this year's graduation gift to our high school students. I highly recommend this book for anyone, regardless of age, gender, or faith perspective.
