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!
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.

wow, this book comes to be reviewed about the time my boss just found that greed does not pay. I will have to gently suggest this book to her in a little bit.
Here I am... Leaving a post! Just wondering why you choose to highlight Randy Alcorn's book on your site. Have you met him before? Or are you just a fan? I'm curious! Contact me at Facebook!
God bless you! :-)
Hey, Gretchen. Wow it is cool to see you using your writing. I had heard of Randy Alcorn's book but hadn't read it. I remembered being astounded at how his income was restricted. Did he also write a book on heaven?
