A Single Layer

I promised at the beginning of the summer that I'd write about Bob Goff's darling book Love Does . I finished it a while ago, but I'm not sure that I want to say much about its content. The purpose of the book is to encourage and inspire you to live more fully, and it works toward that purpose by telling stories of Bob Goff's own life doing exactly that. The title says a lot, reminding us that love is more than an ideal or a feeling, but an epic motivator. The book provides countless reasons to love humanity, and countless inspirations to turn that love into action. I'd say more, but the stories speak for themselves, and they are worth sitting in for a while.

I recently finished reading Love Does, by Bob Goff, and as promised will be delivering a post on my thoughts and impressions as soon as possible. Which is, unfortunately, not today. But soon.

Love Does , by Bob Goff, was highly praised from the pulpit yesterday. Many in our church will be reading it in the coming weeks, myself included. It comes out on Tuesday. I'll try to share some thoughts, either on the book itself or how it relates to whatever it's supposed to relate to regarding our community. In part, I will try to share these thoughts because it's been a long time since I've shared anything over here. But also because I suspect this is going to be one of those relevant books that either hits us or it doesn't. Also, there are colorful balloons on the cover. And that's just fun.
