When the Game Is Over, It All Goes Back in the Box
When the Game Is Over It All Goes Back in the Box Author:John Ortberg Remember the thrill of winning at checkers or Parcheesi? You become the Master of the Board -- the victor over everyone else.

Using popular games as a metaphor for our temporal lives, When the Game Is Over, It All Goes Back in the Box neatly sorts out what's fleeting and what's permanent in God's kingdom.

I love this book. I helps break down where your treasures are. It challenged me to the core in the areas that I was not truly trusting in God and being of the world. A great read.
