DON'T MISS THIS FUN AND EXCITING NEW YORK TIMES BEST-SELLING AUTHOR
Tuesday, November 6, 2-3:00 pm, in the ES auditorium, come hear BOB GOFF. Bring a friend or two! Mr. Goff is the author of the book, Love Does. Among his friends and acquaintances, he has become somewhat of a legend. On the back cover of Love Does, Bob is described as the "world's best-kept secret. Those same friends insisted he write a book so, finally, he did. It's full of paradigm shifts, musings, and stories from one of the world's most delightfully engaging and winsome people. What fuel's his impact? LOVE. But not the kind of love that stops at thoughts and feelings. Bob is convinced love takes action. Bob believes Love Does."
