When the Game Is Over, It All Goes Back in the Box
When the Game Is Over, It All Goes Back in the Box
By 
John Ortberg

I would recommend When the Game Is Over, It All Goes Back in the Box because it offers a thoughtful reminder about what truly matters in life. The book uses the metaphor of a board game to show that success, possessions, and achievements are temporary, while character, relationships, faith, and purpose have lasting value. It encourages readers to live with humility, gratitude, and intention, making it both practical and meaningful for anyone wanting to reflect on their priorities.
