The Treasure Principle: Unlocking the Secret of Joyful Giving by Randy Alcorn
3.0
I’d give it a 3.5. There were good moments of the book that stood out and helped me reflect on how I view what I have in my possession; moments where I felt an increased desire to love others well and give, rather than just invest in wants.
But the tone, writing style, and overall feel of the book was something I did not enjoy. It felt like a 10-steps, self-help book. I didn’t agree with certain things the author writes, like a section on not leaving his daughters with too much when he dies so that they will trust God and depend on their husbands...
Honestly, it took me an hour to read, and there is more good than bad if you can overlook the salesman tone that floats throughout it.
