I think that getting this as an ebook is another sneaky trick on this visually challenged grandma！ Now I just have to get a print copy for our church library and prod my out-of-state kids to do the same。 The publisher's blurb is excellent， and there are practical stories and life lessons， Biblical truths and concepts of faith all enticingly packaged with entrancing illustrations。 Great as a read aloud！ I requested and received a free temporary ebook from Thomas Nelson: CHILDREN'S via NetGalley。 I think that getting this as an ebook is another sneaky trick on this visually challenged grandma！ Now I just have to get a print copy for our church library and prod my out-of-state kids to do the same。 The publisher's blurb is excellent， and there are practical stories and life lessons， Biblical truths and concepts of faith all enticingly packaged with entrancing illustrations。 Great as a read aloud！ I requested and received a free temporary ebook from Thomas Nelson: CHILDREN'S via NetGalley。 。。。more

I am a huge Bob Goff fan so when Love Does for Kids came out I used it as a way to share it with my 10 year old granddaughter。 It was the first 'Nana's Book Club' book。 We both loved the book and sharing our thoughts about the stories。 We were both so excited when we found out Everybody， Always for Kids was on its way！ It did not disappoint！ I love the way the authors transform stories from the adult book into age appropriate stories for kids。 It's a must read for helping young people see the im I am a huge Bob Goff fan so when Love Does for Kids came out I used it as a way to share it with my 10 year old granddaughter。 It was the first 'Nana's Book Club' book。 We both loved the book and sharing our thoughts about the stories。 We were both so excited when we found out Everybody， Always for Kids was on its way！ It did not disappoint！ I love the way the authors transform stories from the adult book into age appropriate stories for kids。 It's a must read for helping young people see the importance of loving Everybody！ Always！ 。。。more

A few years ago， I led my high school youth group through the Everybody Always video series。 We watched the first week’s video and I asked if anyone had questions。 A hand shot up immediately: “Is he…um…always like that？” And the answer is yes。 Bob Goff is the most enthusiastic， genuine person that I know。 It’s not an act。 It’s not a show。 It’s simply who he is。Everybody Always is about learning to love others， regardless of who they are—something the world desperately needs in this season of div A few years ago， I led my high school youth group through the Everybody Always video series。 We watched the first week’s video and I asked if anyone had questions。 A hand shot up immediately: “Is he…um…always like that？” And the answer is yes。 Bob Goff is the most enthusiastic， genuine person that I know。 It’s not an act。 It’s not a show。 It’s simply who he is。Everybody Always is about learning to love others， regardless of who they are—something the world desperately needs in this season of division and polarization。 Goff draws on his exceptional life to tell stories about opportunities to love others and make a difference。 Each personal anecdote is used as a launching point toward a general understanding of the concept and an imagining of what it might look like in the reader’s context。Speaking with adults， the one criticism I get about Bob is that he’s too…well， the kids would say extra， adults just sort of gesticulate wildly。 And yeah， I get it。 Adulthood， for most， carries with it a certain sense of properness and decorum， an aloofness and individuality that doesn’t want to get involved in the lives of others。 To them， Bob Goff is scary。 To them， Bob’s way of living is just way too vulnerable。 The best I might get is that people admire him for what he does， but ask them to change themselves and there might be some small， incremental changes （I’ll take it） but rarely will they upend their established personality。Everybody Always for Kids shifts the focus from an adult reader to an elementary to middle school one。 The vocabulary is a little more simplified。 The anecdotes are a bit shorter。 There are wonderful illustrations。 There are a few additional stories。 But that same sense of wonder and whimsy is pervasive。 And to a less cynical， less “adult” audience， it really hits home。 Bob’s sense of wonder is childlike and for kids to see an adult who has kept that is， hopefully， encouraging to them be the same。 Interestingly， Bob’s practical advice for how to love others doesn’t differ that much from the book geared to adults—showing just how easy it is to implement his message。 Your child will laugh， ask questions， be amazed， feel encouraged， and， most of all， feel capable of being the hands and feet of Jesus。 They don’t have to wait to be older or have a job or money， they can love everybody always right where they are。 Bob’s an amazing person and I’m glad to see his books translated into a format meant for younger readers。 。。。more

This is such a well written book that speaks to kids in a way they can understand。 It also addresses “safe grownups” and I love this piece too。 “We need to use wisdom when we spend time with others”。 I read Everybody always and this mirrors the adult version- something awesome for my son and I to connect on！

This book is great for the entire family！ It paints stories of how love looks in everyday life。 It helps us be able to easily find and point out how we’re loving each other well day to day in our own lives。 In true Goff fashion， you’ll find yourself smiling and laughing along the way。 This is the perfect gift/purchase for someone with kids。

Everybody Always for Kids by Bob Goff and Lindsey Goff Viducich is another amazing devotional to bring God's love to life。 I read their first book， Love Does， with my son at least two full times。 The audiobook version was especially a favorite。 We started this book and I have only one complaint-- bedtime never happens on time because my son is never happy with just one devotional！ This book is amazing， just as amazing as the first。 It brings to life the concepts in God's Word better than many de Everybody Always for Kids by Bob Goff and Lindsey Goff Viducich is another amazing devotional to bring God's love to life。 I read their first book， Love Does， with my son at least two full times。 The audiobook version was especially a favorite。 We started this book and I have only one complaint-- bedtime never happens on time because my son is never happy with just one devotional！ This book is amazing， just as amazing as the first。 It brings to life the concepts in God's Word better than many devotionals I have found。 Through stories and simple lessons that can be applied immediately， the depth of God's love for us permeates every inch of this book。 I highly recommend it and cannot wait to buy it in many different formats， as we did the last。 It is worth it！ I received a digital copy of this book from the publisher with no obligations。 These opinions are entirely my own。 。。。more

This book is full of anecdotes， practical advice and scripture。 Bob Goff uses humor， examples from his family's life and simple speech to communicate to children how much Jesus lives them and why that means they should love others and show that love in tangible ways。As with his other audiobooks， Bob does his own narration。 You can often feel the emotions as he speaks。 This book is meant for elementary children， but is great for all God's children， whether 5 or 105。 This book is full of anecdotes， practical advice and scripture。 Bob Goff uses humor， examples from his family's life and simple speech to communicate to children how much Jesus lives them and why that means they should love others and show that love in tangible ways。As with his other audiobooks， Bob does his own narration。 You can often feel the emotions as he speaks。 This book is meant for elementary children， but is great for all God's children， whether 5 or 105。 。。。more

Bob and Lindsey make an incredible team。 They find age appropriate stories to share that encourage and empower kids （of all ages， honestly！） to go out and love others well and to do it with no restrictions。 They are notorious for heart warming stories and this book does not disappoint。 They are an incredible father-daughter team and the artwork is just the icing on the cake。 I would HIGHLY recommend this book for children of all ages。
