Remember the thrill of winning at checkers or Parcheesi? You become the Master of the Boarda€”the victor over everyone else. But what happens after that, asks bestselling author John Ortberg. You know the answer: It all goes back in the box. You dona€™t get to keep one token, one chip, one game card. In the end, the spoils of the game add up to nothing.Using popular games as a metaphor for our temporal lives, When the Game Is Over, It All Goes Back in the Box neatly sorts out whata€™s fleeting and whata€™s permanent in Goda€™s kingdom. Being Master of the Board is not the point; being rich toward God is. Winning the game of life on Earth is a temporary victory; loving God and other people with all our hearts is an eternal one. Using humor, terrific stories, and a focus on winning a€œthe right trophies,a€ Ortberg paints a vivid picture of the priorities that all Christians will want to embrace.
