Abstract

Even in the game of life, the biggest and brightest prizes are temporary. In the end, we don't get to keep a thing—unless we're playing for the right prize. Using humor and his trademark gift of storytelling, John Ortberg tells us When the Game Is Over, It All Goes Back in the Box and shows us how to play for the things that really matter in life.
