Walkie-Talkies, Home Improvement, & Faith - Oh, My!
Blown away!
All the stars...all the feels..and here's why:
I wasn't sure what to expect from "Everybody, Always" as I didn't read the first NYT best selling book by Bob Goff. However, the title and the book cover intrigued me, so I decided to read an excerpt on BookishFirst.
WOW. Just WOW. I need to read the whole book - STAT!
First off, Sweet Maria is a saint to go through that many home improvement houses/projects with her author husband, Bob Goff. I guess it's safe to say she's along for a wild and bumpy ride, and it's her faith in their love that keeps her from packing up and moving on without him. LOL - I love the line, "It’s one of the few rules in our marriage—we agreed if Sweet Maria ever decides to leave me, she has to take me with her." Clearly, she's sweet on him as he is on her, and they both must have a good sense of faith and humor to keep the marriage strong.
Second, Mr. Goff tugged at my heartstrings and I was so sad to see the excerpt end. I really want to read the whole book! His relationship with their neighbor Carol was so endearing and his use of walkie-talkies as a way to strengthen his connection with an ailing neighbor who had become like family was truly touching. My eyes were blinded by hot tears, but my faith was restored by his simple gesture.
If you love a humorous book on faith, love and walkie-talkies, EVERYBODY ALWAYS is for you. Highly recommend.
