"The Eternity Portfolio™ represents a paradigm shift in strategies for long term investing. Alan Gotthardt has masterfully woven together two important financial principles: investing and giving. In a remarkably simple way, he challenges us to shift our focus off of the stock market or the bottom line, and begin to invest for eternity. I recommend this book to anyone who is serious about long term investing. What an amazing challenge to see our gifts as investments in the lives of others, investments in eternity."

"This book will inspire and motivate you to become a better manager of your money. The truth here is that what we give and invest - if based on our values - not only brings incredible joy to us personally, but that our 'earthly portfolio' can literally change the world (and us!) as God transforms it into an 'Eternity Portfolio.'"

"We've had nothing but great feedback about the time Alan spent challenging and encouraging more than 75 of our key leaders and their spouses. He demonstrated a great knowledge and insight about finances and an obvious passion for both giving and for the Kingdom. As a result, there is a new depth of understanding in our body about the importance of being intentional in how we steward the monies that God has entrusted to us. I highly recommend both Alan and The Eternity Portfolio."
