Love Does

My latest book review: Love Does by Bob Goff, this is a book about action, about faith, but most importantly it's several stories about faith in action. Mr. Goff is interested in taking the Word, the Scriptures that people read and consume every day, and putting them into action. He takes the Word, spoken and written, to flesh, to doing. And I am incredibly grateful for this man's journey and that he gifted us all with the opportunity to grow because of it. Story after story after story, Mr. Goff takes the reader all around the word with a faith that is being worked out in amazing ways. Mr. Goff speaks of things he used to believe because of what he was told, what he has always been given, but then life, experience, and people begin to reshape what he used to think, to what he now believes. Because we live in a society that thinks a lot of things, and a society that loves to battle over issues, so it is now that this work is all the more needed and relevant. Because Mr. Goff is interested in telling stories that are real, they've happened, and they are beyond ideas about issues because they are about people. It's easy to argue logic around an issue, but Mr. Goff is about experience, about sharing what life does when it is lived to its fullest. I imagine there are some that would want more Scripture to be referenced, but I also think the people who want it referenced are the ones who already know where it is and they've read it a hundred times. This is a book about doing, about taking what you already think, and putting action to it. Powerfully inspirational and an incredible call to us, the reader, to live lives that do something, for everyone. We'll be changed, and so will others.
