Best Selling Books by Bob Goff

Tydens sy studentejare het hy sestien dae in die Stille Oseaan gespandeer saam met vyf vriende en ’n kas blikkiesvleis. As pa het hy sy kinders op ’n wêreldtoer geneem om roomys te eet saam met staatshoofde. Hy het vriende gemaak in Uganda, en so baie van hulle gehou dat hy die Ugandese konsul geword het. Dit het hom drie jaar geneem om sy vrou te oortuig om met hom uit te gaan. Sy punte op skool was nie goed genoeg om in die regte te gaan studeer nie, daarom het hy vir sewe dae op ’n bankie buite die rektor se kantoor gaan sit, totdat hulle hom uiteindelik toegelaat het om in te skryf. Bob Goff het ’n legende geword, en sy vriende beskou hom as die wêreld se besbewaarde geheim. Dieselfde vriende dring al lank by hom aan om ’n boek te skryf. Wat volg is paradigma-skuiwe, mymerings en stories van een van die wêreld se genotvolste, innemendste en bekoorlikste karakters. Wat is die geheim van sy impak? Liefde. Maar dit is nie die soort liefde wat by gedagtes en gevoelens eindig nie. Bob se liefde doen. Bob glo daarin Om die Liefde te Leef. Wanneer die liefde geleef word, word die lewe interessant. Elke dag verander in ’n uitgelate, rare en betekenisvolle geleentheid wat geloof eenvoudig en werklik maak. Elke hoofstuk is ’n storie wat ’n boek, ’n lewe vorm. En dit is een lewe wat jy nie wil misloop nie. Lig en prettig, uniek en diepsinnig, sal die lesse uit Bob se lewe en gesindheid jou dalk net inspireer om ook heimlik fantasties te wees.

In this five-session video Bible study, bestselling author Bob Goff shares some of the stories from his life that have helped him understand what it truly means to love everybody the way Jesus loved them-without fear, insecurity, or restriction. This begins by loving people right where you are through serving and helping the neighbors God has placed into your world. It means loving people when they mess up and helping them move past the place of shame to acceptance. It continues by being courageous and following where God leads one step at a time-even if you feel you are flying blind. Above all, it means not just agreeing with Jesus but actually stepping out and doing what Jesus said. 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. Everybody, Always will provide practical steps to help you take that journey. Sessions include: 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 This pack contains one study guide and one DVD.

A mustard seed. God asks us to have faith the size of an itty, bitty, tiny mustard seed. Now that shouldn''t be so hard, should it? And yet, so many times we experience difficult, even traumatic events in our lives that make us ask questions like, "If God loves us and wants the very best for us, why does He allow such horrible things to happen?"For Kevin, it was a mass shooting in his town of Buffalo, Minnesota that brought him to ask this important question. And each time he prayed, he heard the words, "Can you trust me this much? Those words kept replaying in his mind over and over again. Kevin eventually wrote those six words down on strips of paper and Scotch-taped a mustard seed to each one. He proceeded to place the strips in random places. They were in his house, his business, on his computer, and even in his car.What Kevin discovered was how the traumatic events we all face in life can either destroy us or bring us to a place where we realize our pain has a purpose. And when we finally get real and have the crazy courage to face the big hurts - those life-changing events - we can answer with certainty, "Yes?yes, I can trust you this much!"
