When the Game Is Over, It All Goes Back in the Box
In this thought-provoking look at what’s really important
in life, John Ortberg uses games as a metaphor to help
us recognize and play for life’s real prize: being rich toward
God.
Told with humor and wisdom by this bestselling author,
pastor, and game-strategist, When the Game Is Over, It
All Goes Back in the Box reminds us that everything on
earth belongs to God, and everything we “win” is just on
loan. Being Master of the Board is not the point; playing
by God’s rules is. Ortberg makes sure we understand the
object of the game, but he also walks us through the set-up,
the rules, the strategies, and choosing the right trophies.
This book is for those who want to sort out what’s
fleeting and what’s permanent in God’s kingdom. It’s the
perfect playbook for individuals or groups interested in
considering life’s true priorities and arranging their lives
with eternal prizes in mind.
