    About this audiobook

    This is a book about discovering what we really need. There are a lot of second-best options, but we weren't made to live a second-best life. Finding what we actually need is different than what we are often offered. There are many books full of opinions, steps and programs. This isn't one of them. This is about craving the things that matter. Things that don't just work, but last. In a life that may seem to be all fun and games with an endless supply of balloons, author Maria Goff shows how this life is also lived with intentionality, passionate purpose, and a little planning-all of which make a life rich in legacy. But she had to figure out the help she needed first in order to live the beautiful life God wanted for her and wants for us. Love Lives Here is a collection of stories that include the ways Maria and her husband, Bob, navigated family their way, without clear instructions or a road map. It's about what they learned to make their lives meaningful and whimsical and how they created a space for their family to grow together while they reached outward.

      Loved this book! The gentle message to slow down and cherish your friends, faith, and family and to cultivate love right where you are touched my soul!

      I am going through a divorce currently. So to be honest I have a hard time hearing and reading certain things recently while healing from a not so perfect marriage to a chronic cheater and liar. But this book, gives me hope for my future. To live in the moment, love my people and have joy despite the losses I have lived through. I want love to live here in my home and heart and all around me and my people. I don’t want to live a life of regret, or stay in the pain of another’s transgressions. This book gives me hope for my future, to live and love each day as God guides my steps. Thank you Maria Goff, for an introverted and honest perspective. It totally resonated with this heart of mine, who had wanted to love to live and live in love for a very long time.

      Life wisdom!! Sweet Maria’s words are just as much comforting as they are encouraging.
    • 5/5
      Inspirational! Hope giving! Firstly, thank you for sharing your guys story! I found so much encouragement as a guy in a wheelchair hoping to get married one day. Larissa writes the book really beautifully. I appreciate the authenticity too! May not be fun to write your realness, real struggles and thoughts, but instead of listening to just a wonderful romance story with a happy ending, I heard a real journey of two people that gives their everything to stay committed to each other and to Jesus!

      Sweet Maria Goff. The string to Bob's balloon. The steady to his impulsive. The home for his wanderings.
      And she wrote her own book. I'm far more like Maria than I am like Bob, and I loved this glimpse from her gentle and insightful perspective. Filled with stories and calm, loving advice, this book is worth reading (although if you haven't yet, I'd recommend reading Love Does and Everybody Always, first).

      Such a great book. I have totally related to the author!

      Amazing and centering. I am still choked up and hopeful!
    • 4/5
      I enjoyed this book. It starts with the loss of their lodge retreat in British Columbia to fire, then she goes over her childhood that included abusive body-shaming parents which led relationship issues as she grew older. Then along came Bob Goff whose idea of a date was taking her rock climbing and telling her,"Trust me. I've got you." He is the Tigger of their marriage while she stayed home looking after their children. After 9/11 their children wrote to numerous world leaders and wound up being invited to visit some of them. This brought out Maria's fears for her family's safety which she dealt with by praying and feeling peace come over her. She finds Bob's boundless energy sometimes annoying and when he flies off to work on humanitarian causes she worries. The burning of the lodge brings out childhood insecurities that she gets counseling for and that help bring closure to them and the loss of the lodge.
