Reviews - What do customers think about When the Game Is Over, It All Goes Back in the Box?
 | Thought provoking Jul 6, 2009 |
| Ortberg's book is a thought provoking read. Indeed, life is a lot like a game...figure out the rules, devise a strategy, hope for a bit of luck, strive for success. But in the end, what we leave behind...our legacy...is what's important. I borrowed this book from a friend and had to have my own copy. | | | | Great inspiration. May 1, 2009 |
I read this book at a time when life challenges seemed to consume me. Without doubt, the author reminded me to get my priorities straight through the use of simple stories and easy to remember recommendations. Rather than worry about "things," look for ways to help "people."
The chapters may be read in isolation. I've done that many times. We learn about the author's life (game player grandson, tennis player, church leader) on the way to a "life lesson" about trusting in God's plan. We're also reminded of people in the past that suffered while growing on the inside. Often, I simply read the end of a chapter as daily inspiration. Rather than feeling stressed about things, I was inspired to find ways of making life better for those I'm around. That's not always easy.
Will you find this book as uplifting as I did? Maybe. I needed reminders because it was so easy to fall back into that routine of trying to control temporary situations. Look back at all the time/energy wasted on things that ultimately fade as priorities until new things come up to worry about. After reading this book (multiple times), I'm a better person for coming up with ways to make God smile. In the end, that's all you take with you.
Good luck. | | | | What an inspirational book! Jan 8, 2009 |
| John Ortberg uses the game metaphor, humor, and touching stories to inspire readers to find what really matters in life...not the trappings, but nurturing relationships and finding joy and purpose each day. His honesty about his own missteps prevents the book from being preachy. The stories? You'll laugh and you'll cry. I spent quite awhile reading excerpts to my husband--whose eyes welled up more than once! I was going to pass along my copy to a friend, but I know I'll go back and read this book again and again for inspiration and the periodic pep talks I will need from time to time; so, I'm purchasing a few more to give out to my family and friends. Though the book is directed to Christians, non-Christians will appreciate the wisdom, the writing style, and the message. | | | | Entertaining, Provokative and To The Point! Nov 10, 2008 |
The 4:8 Principle: The Secret to a Joy-Filled Life
John Ortberg has done it again!It All Goes Back In The Box is an exceptionally entertaining and thought-provoking message that makes the reader RE-think life and whether or not he is focusing on the things that that really matter and have the potential to leave a lasting legacy.
Using the classic game, Monopoly, as a metaphor for life, Ortberg reminds us of the humorously blunt truth, that in fact, it will all be returned to the box. His writing style and wit add real value to the wisdom of his message and provide readers with the right perspective on living...and dying.
Highly recommended as well as the small group DVD and study materials! | | |  | I was disappointed, an ok book Nov 4, 2008 |
| The title of the book and the first chapter were wonderful. The rest of the book got a little preachy. I was looking for a metaphoric view of the folly of materialistic greed destroying the true wealth of relationships with people and this book didn't do it for me. I think the author started off right by illustrating what his grandmother taught him by example but then got off that track and tried to spell out what it meant to him instead of leading the reader to arrive at the conclusion himself. | | | Write your own review about When the Game Is Over, It All Goes Back in the Box
