REVIEW: Not just another video study.

Love Does is a new Small Group DVD study from Thomas Nelson based on the book by the same name. It is subtitled, “Discover a Secretly Incredible Life in an Ordinary World.” When I first saw this I thought  "Just what we need! Another group study that over promises and under delivers!” If you’ve never heard of Bob Goff, you are in for a treat! Bob Goff has an infectious personality with a level of honesty and authenticity that makes you want to call him up and invite him to your house because you want whatever it is that he has.

Love Does challenges participants to rethink all they thought they knew about love; God’s love and their own love for others. Bob is a master storyteller who can tell true stories that challenge, encourage, and inspire listeners to embrace this life. What makes the study even better is that you cannot leave a session without laughing again and again! This is critical to understanding God’s love for us. God is not some crusty curmudgeon who can barely stand to look at His creation. Bob reminds us that God enjoys us, longs for us to succeed in loving others, desires His absolute best for us.

Love Does will make you uncomfortable during this five-session journey, but the process is most certainly worth it. The participant guide is full of hands-on, practical group activities and personal challenges that will help ensure that, if you are willing to do a few things that you wouldn’t normally do (nothing too crazy), you will experience God’s love in a refreshing way and you won’t be able to hold it in.
