New York Times Bestseller!
What happens when we give away love like we're made of it?
In his entertaining and inspiring follow-up to the New York Times bestselling phenomenon Love Does, Bob Goff takes readers on a journey into the secret of living without fear, constraint, or worry. The path toward the liberated existence we all long for is found in a truth as simple to say as it is hard to do love people, even the difficult ones, without distinction and without limits.
Driven by Bob’s trademark storytelling, Everybody, Always reveals the lessons 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.

"Faith-based nonfiction is typically one of my favorite genres, and after seeing all of the crazy amazing reviews and ratings this book was getting, I knew I had to snag this one up. Not to mention, this book has a super gorgeous and vibrant cover, which always makes for a great bookshelf addition!
I have to say, though, this book was a real miss for me, as much as it pains me to admit that. I wanted to love it so much, but I just found myself disconnecting from the author more and more as I progressed further in the book. I do want to try another of Mr. Goff’s books before I completely write him off as one of my potential authors to follow, because I feel like this one just didn’t hit the mark for me, but others might.
I know the author surely didn’t mean to present himself in such an off-putting way, but the examples he gave throughout the book of his showing love to others were very hard for a common person to identify with -- from his visits overseas, to his handing out tickets to Disneyland, it was so hard to identify with how he lives life. Was he showcasing what it means to love others, always? -- you bet. I have no doubt that Mr. Goff is a precious soul who consistently wins others over to Christ, and for that I can’t thank him enough, or say enough wonderful things about what his character must be like. For me, though, the chapters were written in such a way that I lost track of the good that Mr. Goff was doing, and instead focused more on how impractical it would be for most people in our society to be able to accomplish such good deeds."

Everybody Always Becoming Love in a World Full of Setbacks and Difficult People Bob Goff 9780718078133 Books Reviews
- “I want people to meet you and me and feel like they’ve just met everyone in heaven.â€
Several years ago I read Love Does by Bob Goff and I was simply blown away by Bob’s energy and enthusiasm. Sometime later I was able to hear Bob speak at a student leadership conference and I was just in awe of him.
Why do I find Bob Goff so fascinating? Because he lives life with such passion and zeal. His love seems so authentic. He is not just putting words on the page or speaking goodwill to the masses. He is capturing life at its fullest and throwing it back to us.
I am very cynical person. I typically view Christian authors as opportunistic over authentic, but with Bob, I see genuine love for all.
Everybody, Always is a perfect follow up to Love Does. The book is full of amazing stories and beautiful calls for action. This book is a great challenge for a guy like me, who can become numb and disillusioned with the world.
I highly recommend this work to everyone. And, of course, here are some amazing quotes
“Love isn’t something we fall into; love is someone we become.â€
“Loving people means caring without an agenda.â€
“What a shame it would be if we were waiting for God to say something while He’s been waiting on us to do something.â€
“Most of us don’t need more instructions; we simply need someone who believes in us.â€
“We don’t need to be the hero in everyone’s story. Jesus already landed that part.â€
“Grace never seems fair until you need some.†- Faith-based nonfiction is typically one of my favorite genres, and after seeing all of the crazy amazing reviews and ratings this book was getting, I knew I had to snag this one up.

I will continue to talk about books. BUT, I’ve never wanted to share a book with you more than I want to share “Everybody Always†by Bob Goff.
I read Bob’s first book, “Love Does,†a few years ago. It is lovely and wonderful. “Everybody Always†is even more so.
We’re attempting to navigate this seemingly polarized world of scary events, differing opinions, and difficult people. It’s hard, but this new book is going to bring such a light to the readers, and those the readers choose to love.
I’m not overstating it when I say that while reading his books I’ve laughed, I’ve cried, and I’m learning to love better.
You’re going to love reading Bob’s experiences and nuggets of wisdom. - Have been savoring this book, allowing myself only one chapter every few days. Finally finished it and I so wish there was more. Cried in nearly every chapter. Bob Goff is one of the most inspirational people alive, and so humble.
I’m not Christian, or religious at all, so as you can imagine, I don’t read a lot of books about Jesus. (Like almost only Love Does.) There’s a lot of Jesus in this book. And a lot of religious teachings. Yet even for someone like me, the messages are beautiful and resonant and I agree with all of them. I just don’t use the same words or imagery. And I didn’t feel wrong for being different. Whoever you are, you can feel the love coming through in this book. For you and for everybody, always.
And Bob Goff should win an Oscar or Pulitzer or whatever you get for storytelling. But that part of the award is for the life you had to live to have the stories to tell. - I was first introduced to this lovely author Bob when I read "Love Does" and I enjoyed reading every bit of it. When I heard of Everybody, Always... I knew I had to get my hands on this.
The first few chapters already had me laughing to myself silly and then within the few minutes, reaching out for the tissue box. Anyone who reads what Bob writes would agree that he has a way to "hook" you into his world and experience what he went through - with so little words and yet in a deep and profound manner.
Bob manages to convince me that no matter who we meet, they are fighting a battle you know nothing about (as the quote goes) and because of that, we are to love everybody, always. Especially those who you disagree with. And that's the main crux of Jesus' ministry. He taught us to love the sinner, not the sin - always!
