Lots of stories in this book which Bob Goff uses to make his points. This made it very easy to read and very engaging. I would read another one of his books.

Hilarious and entertaining
I absolutely adore this book and immediately wanted more when I finished (thankfully, there's is a sequel!). Bob Goff writes in such conversational way, and his personality shines through as the reader is brought along on the discoveries he's made throughout his life via many exciting and whimsical experiences. This book challenged my approach to everyday life and inspired me to view each day as a gift from God to be spent with gusto and drive towards sharing love with all people. Although the book does not always directly align with my own conservatively-leaning theology, I would still highly recommend it to Christians young and old in the faith.

Whimsical, Amusing, Easy-to-Read
I loved this book; Bob Goff had so many incredible stories he wrote here of the things that God has done in his life - it is a testimony of God's goodness and faithfulness! He definitely will encourage you, make you laugh or cry, make you smile and amaze you, uplift you and point you to Jesus. I kept on re-reading chapters of this book to other people in my life. I recommend this for you and the kids' version for your kids!

Excellent
This book is full of adventures that Bob has had in his life and stories of where the impossible has become possible all because of love. Love Does will give you a whole new insight into Jesus' love for us and how we can radiate that down here on Earth. Full of practical advice, humour, and encouragement, this book is a must read for all.
