Contest: The Treasure Principle by Randy Alcorn
CONTEST CLOSED: Our winner is Marla T! Congratulations! Please contact me with your mailing address and I’ll get your book out for you!
The image of what the body of Christ can do when we get our finances in line with God’s vision stuns me. Imagine for me with a moment what the world would look like if everyone professing the name of Jesus passionately bought into His kingdom. Wow.
I’m thrilled to have a copy of The Treasure Principle by Randy Alcorn to bless a reader with (US/Canada). Just read the summary information below and head on down for your chances to win!
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.
Randy Alcorn is the founder and director of Eternal Perspective Ministries (EPM). Prior to 1990, when he started EPM, he served as a pastor for fourteen years. He has spoken around the world and has taught on the adjunct faculties of Multnomah Bible College and Western Seminary in Portland, Oregon. Randy is the best-selling author of twenty-seven books (over three million in print), including the novels Deadline, Dominion, and Deception as well as Lord Foulgrin’s Letters, the Gold Medallion winner Safely Home, and Wait Until Then.

This sounds like an amazing book that everyone should read. I’m sure we all need some encouragement and advice on how to better give than we already do.
Being a better steward of God’s treasures is something I need.

I will read any Christian book out there! Add to that that I have struggled so hard with my finances this year- and I sooo need this book!
I feel like I am a giver but I can always grow in this area. My husband has been laid off since October. Giving has taken on a different meaning these days. I also struggle with receiving, many want to help us but pride gets in the way.
I am a subscriber!
THanks for the chance to win, I am currently reading Safely Home by Randy Alcorn and I love his writing style.
I know your contest is over, but I thought your readers might like to know that Bible Study Magazine is giving away 40 signed copies of Randy Alorn’s Heaven.
Winning free books is a great way to save money
Cheers
