| Description: |
The entire title of this book is "When the Game Is Over, It All Goes Back in the Box". Using his humor and genius for storytelling, Ortberg helps the reader focus on the real object of life's game: being rich toward God. Let to one's own devices, the majority tend to seek out worldly things, mistakenly thinking they will bring fulfillment. Ortberg reminds the reader that everything one "owns" is just on loan, and what pleases God is often opposite of what the reader thinks is important. The book helps one consider priorities and arrange one's life with eternal objectives in mind. Discover how to live passionately and boldly; to be active players in the game that pleases God; find one's true mission and how to offer one's best; fill each square on the board with what matters most; and seek the richness of "being" instead of the richness of "having". Included is the CD with the message that inspired this book being written.
The Resource Center also has :"Ortberg, John: A Leader's greatest Fear: A Deeper Look at Shadow Mission" which further explores the idea of "Shadow Mission" from chapter 15, page 169 in this book. |
