This is a must read. The audiobook is read by the author as well and was phenomenal. I felt like I was sitting in the room with Bob. This book really shows the reader what loving like God looks like. But this isn't a guidebook, this is just one guy loving everybody always, even when it seems impossible, or radical. Definitely pick up this title and see for yourself what that kind of love can look like from imperfect people. And then try it for yourself, I know I will.
