Chapter 2 : The Ultimate Investment

In this chapter, Gotthardt deals with the topic of investing in others. This should not be seen as just a part of our family investment portfolio but, rather, its own important (though integrated) sphere of investment. This said, he asks, why is giving not a priority for most Christians? The answer is that obligation alone is not enough to create in us a vision for investing in others. So, what is? "The desire for rewards," he answers. God has promised great reward for those who give freely and generously out of a changed heart and life. In other words, the ultimate investment should be in heaven, for from heaven comes the ultimate reward.
