Best Selling Books by Bob Goff

The runaway NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER! 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 sixteen 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!

This is a study about God''s love... and the most amazing thing about that love is that it''s not a bunch of rules or stuff we have to agree with. God''s love is different. It changes things. It''s active. It works. It risks. God''s love... does. Tapping into this love requires a different skill set than what it takes to memorize answers for a test. This isn''t a love we can earn, buy, or win. It''s something bigger and better. It''s something we discover more about by "doing stuff." This dynamic five-week church-wide campaign explores a different aspect of God''s active love as seen through the stories of Bob Goff. Five video sessions expand on Bob''s teaching in the bestselling book of the same name, combing teaching elements with interactive creative elements. The included study guide and DVD will help small groups and Sunday school classes dig into each topic through a guided Bible study and small-group time with discussion questions, hands-on exercises, and further activities for participants to engage the content on their own between sessions. This church-wide campaign kit includes: One Love Does trade book One study guide (provides teaching notes, discussion questions, Bible study, between-session activities and a practical application called "Putting Love into Action," which will give participants the opportunity to put the principles they have learned into practice) One DVD containing five small-group video sessions One Getting Started guide Love Does Action Guide (a small booklet containing practical ideas for how church members can put the principles outlined in Love Does into action during the week)

Love Does for Kids Experience Kit and Activity Book is a companion to Love Does for Kids by Bob Goff and Lindsey Goff Viducich. This guide can be utilized in the classroom, in a home school setting, or by parents seeking additional resources. Ideal for ages 6-10.

What happens when we give away love like we''re made of it? This study guide is a five-week experiment in learning how to love unconditionally--just as God does. To the world around us, this kind of unconditional love makes little sense. The world is really good at loving some people, sometimes. Most of us are. But what about loving people who don''t talk like us, think like us, vote like us, or see the world like we do? In this five-session video Bible study (DVD/streaming video sold separately), Bob points the way to embodying love by doing the unexpected, the intimidating, the seemingly impossible--to love everybody the way Jesus loved them--without fear, insecurity, or reservations... Love everybody: Begin by loving people right where you are through serving and helping the neighbors God has placed in your world. Love always: Love people when they mess up, and help them move past the place of shame to acceptance. Love God: Be courageous and follow where God leads one step at a time--even if you feel like you''re flying blind. Love now: Don''t just agree with Jesus, but actually step out and do what Jesus said. Each session explores a different aspect of unconditional love: Love People Where You Are Catch People on the Bounce Don’t Play It Safe Look at What’s in Your Bucket Love Even the Difficult People Following Christ means more than just putting a toe in the water when it comes to loving others. It means grabbing your knees and doing a cannonball! And, as Jesus revealed, it means loving the difficult ones. The Everybody, Always Study Guide provides practical steps to help you take that journey. Includes video discussion questions, Bible exploration, personal study and reflection materials for in-between sessions, and a leader''s guide. Designed for use with the Everybody, Always Video Study (9780310095361), sold separately.

Rediscover how to pursue your dreams, see beyond limitations, and find clarity in God''s plan for your life. Once upon a time we had big dreams. But life became a maze of responsibilities, obligations, and expectations. Maybe we see that there''s more to life and more to faith, but we''re distracted by the next crisis or urgent diversion, and that stirring of purpose always seems out of reach. We still have dreams, but we''re no longer in touch with them... This video Bible study (DVD/digital downloads sold separately) will help you understand that God has a plan for your life. Bestselling author Bob Goff provides a step-by-step road map to breaking through the barriers that are holding you back. Each of the five sessions explores a different aspect of what it means to dream big: Get Ready to Dream Big – Before he healed him, Jesus asked the blind man, "Do you want to get well?" You have to want to dream again before you can come to any clear idea about who you are. Set Absurd Expectations – Dreaming big requires you to suspend your practical way of seeing things long enough to look beyond logistics and limitations. Clear the Path – Discover new paths through places you previously assumed were impassable by looking at the reasons you think you can''t pursue your dreams. Push Through Setbacks – Learn to push through your fear of another failure by exploring the story of Peter trying to walk on water. Land the Plane – Time to advance from ideas and get started by taking action with real steps. If anyone knows how to live life to the fullest, it''s Bob Goff. He''s already dazzled readers with his audacious, live-out-loud approach and stories told in Love Does and Everybody, Always. Yet as unique as Bob might seem, he had to make his own choice to dream big, and he wants to take you and your study group on this journey and help you rediscover the dreams God has for you and to turn them into reality. No matter where you are in life, it''s not too late to dream big. Designed for use with the Dream Big Video Study available on DVD or streaming video, sold separately.

Love isn''t a feeling. It''s an activity. It''s something you do. And participating in the act of love is the secret to understanding God''s love--the secret to a life well lived. Building on the foundation of the New York Times bestseller, Love Does, the Love Does video study (DVD/digital video sold separately) is a case study in love done--a love that''s practical, functional, active. Not a "love" that has all the right answers. Not a "love" with ulterior motives. Not a "love" that''s all talk or paralyzed by doubt. But a radically alive love that''s an intentional participation in God''s world. How is that kind of love done? The how is what this study is about. Real growth happens when you learn how to tap into the empowering, energizing love of God. Using it fills you. Risking it secures you. Giving it satisfies you. Each of the five sessions in the Love Does video study explores a different aspect of God''s active love through Bob Goff''s teachings and stories: I''m With You - we''ve been given the invitation to love. Taking it seriously is where life meets faith. Free to Fail - exploring the nature of failure, how it works, and what God does with it. Audacious Love - understanding why receiving love is essential to giving love. Be Not Afraid - chasing out the anxieties that keep us from acting and living the life that Jesus has called us to. Follow Me - delving into how to bring our passions and plans together and bind them to God''s plan. This study guide provides teaching notes, discussion questions, Bible study, between-session activities and a practical application called "Putting Love into Action," which gives you the opportunity to put the principles you have learned into real-life practice. It''s time to step off the ledge and fall into God''s immeasurable love. Designed for use with the Love Does Video Study (9781400206292), sold separately.
