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.
Jesus spent more time talking about money and possessions than about heaven and hell combined. But too often weve overlooked or misunderstood his most profound teaching on this topic, from his words in Matthew 6. Jesus offers us life-changing investment advice. He actually wants us to store up treasures for ourselvesjust not here on earth. Instead, he urges us to store our treasure in heaven, where they will await us, and last forever. We cant take it with usbut we can send it on ahead!
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. In The Treasure Principle, youll unearth a radical teaching of Jesusa secret wrapped up in giving.
Once you discover this secret, life will never look the same. And you wont want it to be.
Supercharged with stunning, divine truth! Lightning struck over and over as I read it.
- John Piper, Senior Pastor, Bethlehem Baptist Church, Minneapolis

What Readers Are Saying About
The Treasure Principle
Finally, a book that is able to encourage joyful, sacrificial grace giving without browbeating people with a guilt trip! Finally, a book that takes a scripturally sound approach to this important area of Christian doctrine and practice!
V. V.
This book is fantastic. It is concise, motivational, and profound. This would be a great book to study with a small group.
A. H.
Other than the Bible itself, few books have changed my actions as quickly as this outstanding little book. I read it aloud to my husband, and together we made decisions about the money and possessions God has entrusted to our care. These choices have brought us great joy.
F. E.
Seldom do you find a book that distinguishes itself as head and shoulders above the rest, but this one does. Its one of the top books Ive ever read.
B. H., pastor
The Treasure Principle has opened my eyes. A light has come on! Im excited about stewardship.
J. C.
I have never had my perspectives so challenged. One hundred percent must-read.
N. T.
Im just starting a sermon series on stewardship at my church, and The Treasure Principle is a piece of gold. I have rarely seen so much wisdom articulated with such simplicity, brevity, and conviction.
M. B., pastor
I loved this book. When you read the truth of God, it affects your soul. Though the concepts are simple, the life change is monumental. There is no prosperity gospel here, just truth.

Thanks, Jim Lund, for your servants heart and your valued role as the original editor on this book. Thanks also to Laura Barker, Doreen Button, Kathy Norquist, and Stephanie Anderson for their editorial work on this expanded and updated version.
When I was writing The Treasure Principle in 2000, someone on the publishers marketing team said, So were going to ask people to spend money to buy your book so you can persuade them to give away lots of money?
Well, theres more to it than that, but in a way the answer was yes. Its safe to say that seventeen years ago, when people were brainstorming book ideas with strong reader appeal, nobodyincluding mewas thinking, I knowlets do a book about giving. Itll sell a million copies!
Yet as I write this, The Treasure Principle has sold nearly two million copies. It has been distributed in thousands of churches and by hundreds of ministries. Businessmen and financial advisors routinely give it to their clients. The book has been translated into twenty-nine languages, including Chinese, Bengali, Croatian, Czech, Danish, Dutch, Greek, Indonesian, Korean, Japanese, Latvian, Russian, Serbian, Slovenian, Polish, Portuguese, Vietnamese, and Arabic.
