The Treasure Principle: The Secret to Joyful Giving

Randy Alcorn bases his Treasure Principle on the words of the greatest financial consultant in the world, Jesus Christ: "Lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven." The author asserts that everything belongs to God, and what we call our own resources actually belong to Him; the question is what He wants us to do with His money. The book helps unveil the wonderful truth that by giving joyfully, we bring glory to God and satisfaction to ourselves.

About the Book

All our lives, we search for treasure – seeking the perfect person and the perfect place. That person is Jesus, and the place is Heaven. If you are a Christian, you already know the perfect person personally and are heading towards that ideal place.

But there's one problem – you are not living with Jesus in that desired perfect place yet!

Perhaps you attend church regularly, pray, and read the Bible. Yet life can still feel quite dull, right? You obediently shuffle your feet, walking through a barren desert, thirsting for joy but unable to find it, searching for treasure that seems to slip through your fingers.

Jesus told a similar story – a parable about a man who found treasure, and his joy was so immense that it changed his entire life. But before we continue, I want you to understand something. Many books on giving compel the reader to give out of guilt. This book is not about that.

I write about the joy of giving. The Treasure Principle has long been hidden. It's time to rediscover this simple yet profound truth, full of great meaning. When you grasp this principle and apply it to your life, everything around you will look different. And trust me, you won't want to go back to the way things were.

When you discover the hidden joy of the Treasure Principle, I guarantee you won't settle for anything less.
