Book review, Love Does by Bob Goff

Today I have the pleasure to write about a book that captivated my attention and taught me many great lessons. I am in reality only about 1/3 of the way through the book Love Does but I enjoy reading it and because I'm at a stopping point for right now I thought in the meantime I'd write a review over the book.

Now that may seem silly because I haven't finished it but the reason why I'm writing it now if because I'm reading it with two of my friends from high school and we only go to a certain point each week and I have reached that point. Each week we then meet and talk about it and what we are learning and are in aw by. This book has a lot of biblical truths in it and that is what we mainly discuss. It talks about how love does things, it's not just a feeling or an emotion in our head, it is also not just what we see in romance movies. Love causes rippling effects and fortunately, we all can be showing God's love in our everyday life through our words and actions. It is also a wonderful book because it shares these truths in funny short relatable stories and proves that anyone can choose to love and talks about the greatest love of all, which comes from God.

The book is an easy read, the chapters are just a few pages each, and each chapter is a different story and it always connects to a truth about God and his great love. That's all I'm going to say but, if you looking for a new book maybe look into this one and read the first chapter before you look the other way. I'm finally glad after 3 years that I finally picked up the book and read it.

I do also want to disclose that I was not interested in reading this book in the beginning. I am not a big reader and it had even been recommended to me before but by reading the back cover it didn't seem of interest. Even though it's a New York Times Bestseller, sometimes they get that stuff wrong. However, if you like me, just a normal reader (not a critic for best selling books) or feel that it may not be good, I'm telling you it is and that this week I didn't want to put it down.

After I finish it I am also willing to pass it along, if your interested, and I haven't found a new home for it reach out!!! I'd love to send it your way, just message me.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
