Um livro espetacular!

This book made me look at myself and ask: “Do I show my love through actions?”. I have learned a great deal from Love Does by Bob Goff. It has shown me the way to live through the love of Jesus.This book gave me an uplifting cloud while reading. I have a friend: a wonderful, caring, driven Christian girl. The excitement that shined in her eyes while talking about it made me want to read. A few months later, my mom read this book during troubled times. This book, she claims, saved her from everything going on. I was inspired by the impact it made on my friends and family.Goff is an attorney who is also a devoted Christian who makes God the clear center of his life. He is determined, courageous, and kind-hearted; which is all fueled by love. Goff illustrates that love is taking action and not conforming to the unimportant things in life. Goff explains that we should not be religious but rather be like Jesus, which he displays through helping a complete stranger with his wedding proposal. Throughout the book, he shares stories of his bold character taking on the world, showing us we shouldn’t be a spectator.I enjoy the many amazing stories spoken throughout the text. I heard these stories and just was in total awe. My favorite story was when he met his wife, “Sweet Maria”; the name he calls her throughout the book. Seeing his love for her woven in the pages was just so incredible to read. When Goff had gotten in an accident, his immediate reaction was to go to the lady who caused it and simply act as if he didn’t just almost die.While reading, however, sometimes it was hard to relate to these miraculous stories because of his venturesome outlook. For instance, when he unexpectedly became the Consul of Uganda.Through his stories, he shows young adults how they should be driven by the Lord in the coming years. However, I do agree that this memoir is open to all audiences showing the love of Jesus!After reading just a few chapters, I felt attached at the hip to this book. As a Christ-follower, I try to exhibit love in this world around me. While reading, I found myself redefining love to a verb; Love through Jesus needs to be acted upon through the world.I felt comfort when reading about his positivity to things around him.I realized I need to be a leader of love in this world.Goff threaded the theme of being engaged in life and putting ourselves out there so we don't miss out on being engaged in life and putting ourselves out there so we do not miss out. Furthermore, he says how we need to be engaged in learning about a person; they need to know how much they matter.This book takes you through a journey across life. Displaying, life lessons, motivation, and call to action.

Awesome yet unconventional, autobiographical in nature, happy to have read, will definitely recommend.

I read this book in 2020 and it was one of my top 3 books for the year.I think Bob tells the most beautiful, intriguing, compelling, and almost "too wild to believe" stories. But I guess that's just a pointer to the type of person Bob is. I love how Bob used his stories to teach us about how to be better Christians and people generally. His stories also challenged me to live a bigger, fuller life.
