- Goff
- is
- a
- one-man
- tsunami
- of
- grace,
- a
- hurricane
- of

- Yet,
- Love

- doesn't
- leave
- you
- feeling

- you
- want
- to
- celebrate
- its

- it
- awakens
- a
- sense
- deep
- within
- that
- you,
- too,
- have
- an
- outrageous
- role
- to
- play
- in
- God's

- interesting
- and
- compelling
- story

- once
- in
- a
- while
- someone
- like
- Bob
- Goff
- shows
- up
- to
- remind
- us
- that
- some
- things
- matter
- a
- lot
- more
- than
- others.
- Love
- Does
- has
- a
- kind
- of
- ‘north
- star’
- effect
- that
- will
- push
- you
- to
- refocus
- your
- life
- and
- energy
- on
- what
- is
- most
- significant.
- It
- doesn't
- just
- invite
- you
- to
- respond
- with
- your
- God-given
- potential,
- it
- invites
- you
- to
- become
- a
- part
- of
- what
- God
- can
- do
- beyond
- your
- potential.”

- liked
- the
- book
- a
- lot.
- Mostly,
- the
- balloons
- on
- the

- The
- rest
- was

- good
- too.
- Lots
- of
- stories
- about
- how
- God

- may
- look
- like
- a
- book.
- It’s
- not.
- It
- is
- an
- invitation
- to
- enter
- into
- the
- greatest
- adventure
- you
- have
- ever
- known—your
- life
- as

- ability
- to
- love
- people
- brings
- contagious
- hope
- and
- inspiration
- wherever

- The

- souls
- of

- are
- some
- nasty
- rumors
- out
- there
- about
- treasure.
- Mostly
- that's
- it's
- buried
- and
- needs
- discovering.
- Or
- has
- to
- be
- mined.
- Or
- can
- only
- be
- located
- with
- a
- map
- and
- a
- big
- X.
- Not
- so,
- says
- the
- life
- of
- Bob
- Goff.
- Living
- from
- the
- center
- of
- your
- heart
- doesn't
- have
- to
- be
- complicated
- or
- elusive.
- Love
- just
- wakes
- up
- in
- the
- morning
- and
- gets
- busy
- loving.
- The
- treasure
- is
- sitting
- right
- there
- next
- to
- the
- pancakes.
- About
- 5
- pages

- I
- knew
- my
- life
- and
- I
- were
- gonna
- have
- words.”
