Manche halten Bob Goff für eines der bestgehüteten Geheimnisse der Welt. Dass es dieses Buch überhaupt gibt, ist seinen Freunden zu verdanken. Denn die haben ihn dazu gedrängt, es zu schreiben. Und da ist es nun. Leichtfüßig, lustig, tiefgehend. Seine Erlebnisse sind mal zum Lachen, mal zum Weinen, aber immer höchst lesenswert. Goff macht vor, was passiert, wenn die Liebe Jesu der Treibstoff für den Alltag ist. Nicht theoretisch, sondern ganz praktisch. Und beglückend. Für den Empfänger. Aber auch für den Absender. Ein Buch, dessen Begeisterung für den Glauben und das Leben ansteckend wirkt.
Podtitul: zcela neuvěřitelný život v obyčejném světě
Jako středoškolský student strávil s pěti dalšími chlapci a bednou konzerv šestnáct dní v Pacifiku. Jako otec vzal své děti na cestu kolem světa, aby jedli zmrzlinu s hlavami států. Našel si přátele v Ugandě, kteří si jej natolik oblíbili, že se stal ugandským konzulem. Tři roky se dvořil své budoucí manželce, než souhlasila, že s ním bude chodit. Ve škole neměl tak dobré známky, aby ho přijali na právnickou fakultu, tak sedm dní seděl na lavičce před kanceláří děkana, až mu nakonec studium umožnili.
Bob Goff se stal téměř legendou. Jeho přátelé na něj dlouho naléhali, aby napsal knihu, což nakonec učinil. Je plná úvah a příběhů jedné z nejvíce okouzlujících a podmanivých osobností na světě. Co způsobuje, že má takový vliv? Láska. Ale není to ten druh lásky, který si vystačí s myšlenkami a pocity. Bob je přesvědčen, že láska se musí chopit činu. Bob věří, že láska koná.
