When the Game Is Over, It All Goes Back in the Box

In When the Game Is Over, It All Goes Back in the Box, bestselling author and pastor John Ortberg uses the engaging metaphor of classic board games like Monopoly to challenge our culture's obsession with temporary accumulation and worldly achievement. Ortberg reminds readers that no matter how much money, property, prestige, or status we acquire during our lifetime, when the game of earthly life ends, it all goes back in the box—and the only things of enduring worth are our relationship with God and how we loved others. Blending keen psychological insight, warmth, laugh-out-loud humor, and deep biblical exegesis, Ortberg helps readers reset their life priorities according to kingdom values. The book provides practical wisdom on managing time, keeping score with eternal metrics, mastering authentic generosity, and cultivating rich spiritual community. This transformative volume inspires readers to stop chasing hollow prizes and invest their energy in the only prize that outlasts the grave.
