Product Description
Flip-Flop Your Concept of Giving!
Bestselling author Randy Alcorn introduced readers to a revolution in material freedom and radical generosity with the release of the original The Treasure Principle in 2001. Now the revision to the compact, perennial bestseller includes a provocative new concluding chapter depicting God asking a believer questions about his stewardship over material resources. Readers are moved from the realms of thoughtful Bible exposition into the highly personal arena of everyday life. Because when Jesus told His followers to “lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven,” He intended that they discover an astounding secret: how joyful giving brings God maximum glory and His children maximum pleasure. Discover a joy more precious than gold!
Priceless treasure is within your reach. And with it, liberating joy.
In Randy Alcorn ’s The Treasure Principle, you’ll unearth a radical teaching of Jesus?a secret wrapped up in giving. Once you discover this secret, life will never look the same. And you won’t want it to!
Pull Out Section:
Do it. Ask God what’s on your mind?.
Open my eyes, Father. What am I holding on to that’s robbing me of present joy and future reward?
Discover the all-new prayer guide inside!

Story Behind the Book
After years of writing and teaching on the theme “God owns everything,” in 1990 Randy Alcorn was sued by an abortion clinic (for peaceful, nonviolent intervention for the unborn). Suddenly he had to resign as a pastor and was restricted to making minimum wage. Legally unable to own anything, Randy gave all his book royalties to missions work and need-meeting ministries. He and his family have experienced the reality of The Treasure Principle?that God really does own everything, takes care of us, and graciously puts assets into our hands that we might have the joy and privilege of investing in what will last for eternity.

Money With an Eternal Perspective May 6, 2008
Joel S. Frady (USA)
Proof that good things come in small packages, this is about as power-packed as it gets in 95 pages. Alcorn challenges our cultural obsession with stuff through his call to "send it on ahead." He argues that the prospect of reward is not wrong in and of itself, it is simply that we often aim for earthly rather than eternal rewards. We are focused on having it all here instead of using the resources God entrusts to us for others now and receiving eternal rewards later. This book provides a great argument against the prosperity gospel, especially in Alcorn's phrase, "God prospers me not to raise my standard of living, but to raise my standard of giving." This book is simply the application of logic to the truth of the Bible. If God is real and the Bible is true, and the Bible teaches that eternal life is real, then it only makes sense to live for that which will produce the most eternal good and bring the most glory to God.
Great book February 16, 2008
David D. (Spokane, WA)
This book gives some great basic principles to think about. It is a short read and only takes maybe 3 hours at the most to get through (probably even less if you're not a slow reader like me). I liked this so much that I've probably given almost a dozen of these away as gifts. And another great thing about it being so short is that even those who aren't much into reading will usually read it if they get it as a gift. If you like this book and want to read more on the subject then I recommend "Money, Possessions, and Eternity" also by Randy Alcorn.
