The Law of Rewards: Giving what you can't keep to gain what you can't lose.

This book examines the concept of rewards from a Christian theological standpoint, arguing that material possessions are temporary and that true value lies in eternal treasures. It encourages readers to adopt a lifestyle of giving, based on the idea that what one gives away in this life is not lost but stored up in heaven. The author draws on Scripture to discuss how acts of generosity, service, and sacrifice are recognized by God and result in eternal rewards, challenging readers to shift their focus from earthly accumulation to heavenly investment. more

“When Paul was taken in chains from his filthy Roman dungeon and beheaded at the order of the opulent madman Nero, two representatives of humanity faced off, one of the best and one of the worst.

We remember both men for what they truly were, which is why we name our sons Paul and our dogs Nero.”
