About this ebook

What if we stopped avoiding the difficult people in our lives and committed to simply loving everybody? What happens when we give away love like we're made of it? In Everybody, Always, Bob Goff's joyful New York Times bestselling follow-up to Love Does, you'll discover the secret to living without fear, constraint, or worry.

Bob teaches us that the path toward the outsized, unfettered, liberated existence we all long for is found in one simple truth: love people, even the difficult ones, without distinction and without limits.

In Everybody, Always, Bob shows us the simple truths about life that have the power to shift our mindset forever:

• Jesus uses our blind spots to reveal himself to us
• It's easy to love kind, lovely, humble people, but you have to tackle fear in order to love people who are difficult
• What we do with our love will become the conversations we have with God
• Dark and scary places are filled with beautiful people who need our unconditional love
• Extravagant love has extraordinary power to change lives, including our own

Driven by Bob's trademark storytelling, this book reveals the wisdom Bob learned--often the hard way--about what it means to love without inhibition, insecurity, or restriction. From finding the right friends to discovering the upside of failure, Everybody, Always points the way to embodying love by doing the unexpected, the intimidating, the seemingly impossible.

Whether losing his shoes while skydiving solo or befriending a Ugandan witch doctor, Bob steps into life with a no-limits embrace of others that is as infectious as it is extraordinarily ordinary. Everybody, Always reveals how we can do the same.

Ratings and reviews

We need more love in the world, but not just butterflies and fairies. We need the hard core love your enemies, do good to those that hurt you, take up your cross and follow me kind of love. One doesn't have to be a Christian to learn a ton from this book, but I'm not sure how anyone could actually become love without a relationship with love itself. I want to become love.

Some books are beautiful storytelling, but fictional, while others are factually correct, but lack all the elements of good storytelling. Here Bob Goff does both, balancing true stories from his life with hilarious storytelling. More than that, these stories are rooted in truth, not just true principles, but in true realities, pointing us back to a love-based relationship with the one who is the way, the truth, and the life.

This book is everything I needed and more. After reading it, I'm inspired to love everybody always. I literally am looking for opportunities now. There's no stopping love and the impact it makes on people! I'm pumped
