The Law of Rewards: Giving What You Can't Keep to Gain What You Can't Lose

If we accept George Barna's statistics on Christian giving, then Randy Alcorn's book might be the panacea. Alcorn's treatment and explanation of Christian rewards in heaven is eye opening. He changes the perspective of simply "making heaven our home" to truly desiring to hear the words "Well done, thou good and faithful servant". For that reason, the book should be handed out with the certificate of membership and the right hand of fellowship. Excellent read. Potentially life changing!

For a Christian, this book presents a compelling case to consider our giving as an investment into the next world. Since we are going to leave it all behind at death anyway, we should carefully examine where we are investing our material resources while we still have control and stewardship of our assets.

This book is recommended for all Christians. Never have I ever been so encouraged to give. I used to work at a minimum paying job where I managed to sacrifice over $4,000 in one years giving. Minimum pay doesn't pay much and it was quite a sacrifice. But I knew that I couldn't take it with me, so I sent it on ahead. I'm now a missionary and I owe it to this book because it transformed my mind and renewed me as a person. It was a great tool in God's Hands. Ps. The proceeds from Randy Alcorn's books are all donated.

I really enjoyed this book. It gives great insight into the biblical basis for giving and the fact that while salvation has already been purchased for us, how we are rewarded in heaven will be based upon how we lived, gave, and sacrificed during this life. If you have ready Money, Possessions and Eternity by the same author, then there is little new here. This is simply a small part of that bigger work.
