AMaVo Book Club discussion

Hello everyone!
We'd like to welcome you to the AMaVo Book Club. To get things started, we're reading "Love Does" - a 2012 Christian Non-Fiction by Bob Goff. Please share your name and a little bit of information about yourself. This week we are starting off by just reading the introduction through Chapter 2. You'll find Love Does a fairly effortless read, and chapters are short and sweet.

Introduction - "Something happens when you feel ownership. You no longer act like a spectator or consumer, because you're an owner. Faith is at its best when it's that way too. It's best lived when it's owned." Pg. xii
Also read > James 2:14-26

Q: How do you think effort relates to faith?


Chapter 1 > I'm With You
"...the kind of love that God created and demonstrated is a costly one because it involves sacrifice and presence. It's a love that operates more like a sign language than being spoken outright." Pg. 9
Also read Matthew 28:16-20

Q: Was there a time in your life you felt that someone went beyond and was simply "with" you? How did it feel?


Chapter 2 > Sniper Fire
"I learned that fully loving and fully living are not only synonymous but the kind of life that Jesus invited us to be a part of." Pg. 16
Also read: Romans 12:1-2

Q: What are the ways you feel atypical and how have you learned to embrace them as a gift from God?
