Bob Goff: The Adventure of Starting Over

Everyday Adventures

Today, I want to introduce you to the man who reframed the idea of adventure for me and made possible some of the most fulfilling moments of my life. That’s not hyperbole. I’ve got receipts to back up those claims. Bob is an undefeated attorney, a law professor, and the Honorable Consul to Uganda. He has authored children’s books, incredible New York Times bestselling books for adults, and probably the best devotional book I’ve ever read. He has founded both an airline and a network of schools in conflict zones across Asia and Africa. Several times over the past decade, he has pulled a vocational emergency brake and utterly changed careers. His wife, Maria, adores him. His three children love him, and he is finally what he always wanted to be when he grew up: a grandpa. You can order any of Bob’s books here.

To read the story of the my last time hanging out with Bob, you’ll find it at “Growing Something New in a Desert”

You can see and read about my other adventures on my blog or through my Instagram feed.

You can read about Bob in chapters 1, 24, and 33 my new book, Scared to Life, in paperback, audiobook, or Kindle ebook here.
