Publisher's summary

The runaway New York Times best seller!

Can a simple concept shift your entire world? Bob certainly thinks so. When it comes to loving your neighbors, rather than focusing on having the "right answers" or checking the "right boxes", what if you decide to simply do love? To shamelessly show love and grace to those around you? What would that look like?

It might look like spending 16 days in the Pacific Ocean with five guys and a crate of canned meat. It might look like taking your kids on a world tour to eat ice cream with heads of state. It might look like taking a road trip with a stressed-out college student—even though you just got married a few days before.

In Love Does, Bob shows you:

  • how to live a fully engaged life;
  • how to stop putting things off until “next time” and instead find your place of imagination, whimsy, and wonder today;
  • that God usually chooses ordinary people to get things done.

When love does, life gets interesting. Light and fun, unique and profound, the lessons drawn from Bob's life and attitude in this collection of stories just might inspire you to be secretly incredible, too. If you love Love Does, don’t forget to check out Everybody, Always and Dream Big for more of Bob’s delightful and inspiring stories!

Insightful book.

This book is a great read and if you are listening to it, it is even better because the author is the narrator. I would love to be friends with this author and his family. His stories and accounts are just outside of the box to be heart warming and a brilliant lesson, but not so outside of the box that they are hard to understand or believe. What a fantastic compilation of the authors humble hits and misses in his life's experiences. What I got from this book fed my adventurers side and confirmed my often guilt ridden desire to steer away from traditions. Don't be afraid to unlimit youself (within reason) and know that God always has you covered no matter where you are. I always feel like I scored big time whenever I read this book.

Inspirational and full of compassion!

words can not convey the heart, love and commitment that Bob, sweet Maria and all of his friends have for Jesus. The love for the people of this world and how they show up is just truly amazing. This book changed ny perception on so many things. I am so grateful for people like Bob! I wish I could help do more. I am inspired to find a way.
