Love Does: A Review

My latest selection from BookSneeze is "Love Does" by Bob Goff.  This book is a memoirs of sorts in how love has taken root and played itself out in the life of the author.  For Goff, the purpose of love in our life is to spring us to action, and in the pages of this book there is plenty of action.  From cross continent trips with his family to meet heads of state, trips to Uganda for the purpose of fighting childhood slavery and 10 year old adventures with his children are just a taste of the many ways in which love has manifested itself in Goff's life.  This book is essentially a collection of stories with a scriptural tie in at the end of each chapter.  But through reading this book I believe that Goff is more than just a good storyteller, he is a disciple of Christ and he is simply sharing what that looks like in his life.  The author is not simply sharing his stories for our amusement, but to help inspire what love might do in and through our lives.  Goff is trying to help ignite our imaginations to where the Spirit might lead those who are actually willing to go to the ends of the earth.  I would highly recommend this book.  Read it and be inspired to open up your life to what love will do in your life.
