WHEN THE GAME IS OVER IT ALL GOES BACK..

Using popular games as a metaphor for our temporal lives, this six-session DVD curriculum neatly sorts out what's fleeting and what's permanent in God'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 his humour and his genius for storytelling, Ortberg helps you focus on the real rules of the game and how to set your priorities. 'When the Game Is Over, It All Goes Back in the Box' DVD and participant's guide help explain how, left to our own devices, we tend to seek out worldly things, mistakenly thinking they will bring us fulfilment. But everything on Earth belongs to God. Everything we 'own' is just on loan. And what pleases God is often 180 degrees from what we may think is important.

In the six sessions you will learn how to Live passionately and boldly, Learn how to be active players in the game that pleases God, Find your true mission and offer your best, Fill each square on the board with what matters most and Seek the richness of being instead of the richness of having.

You can't beat the house, notes Ortberg. We're playing our game of life on a giant board called a calendar. Time will always run out, so it's a good thing to live a life that delights your Creator. When everything goes back in the box, you'll have made what is temporary a servant to what is eternal, and you'll leave this life knowing you've achieved the only victory that matters.
