The New York Times bestselling author of Love Does shows us how to risk more boldly and love less efficiently.
Love has a funny way of showing up where we least expect it. Sometimes it looks like dropping everything to answer the phone. Sometimes it means walking into a prison dressed as Santa, helping a neighbor give their horse a funeral, or simply sticking around when it would be easier to leave. In Love Shows Up, beloved bestselling author Bob Goff takes us along for a collection of hilarious, heartfelt, and wonderfully unexpected stories that remind us of something easy to forget: Everything can change when somebody decides to show up.
With his trademark humor, curiosity, and wide-eyed wonder, Bob explores what can happen when we stop waiting until we have more time, more courage, or fewer things on our calendar and start becoming radically available to the people right in front of us. Along the way, we'll discover why
- availability isn't just about having space on the calendar (although it's that too),
- the people who need us most aren't always the easiest to show up for,
- fear has a sneaky way of keeping us on the sidelines,
- faith isn't what we know so much as what we live out, and
- showing up for others might be one of the quickest routes back to joy and wonder.
Love was never meant to be efficient. It interrupts our plans, messes with our schedules, and occasionally takes us places we never expected to go. Show up anyway. You never know what might happen next.
