A few Sundays ago we gave away copies of Randy Alcorn's The Treasure Principle to worshippers at Cornerstone. It's a great little book and you can't beat the $5 price (unless someone gives you a copy).
In a nutshell the treasure principle is that "You can't take it with you -- but you can send it on ahead."
Then there are six simple sub-principles:
1. God owns everything. I'm his money manager.
2. My heart always goes where I put God's money.
3. Heaven, not earth, is my home.
4. I should live not for the dot but for the line.
5. Giving is the only antidote to materialism.
6. God prospers me not to raise my standard of living, but to raise my standard of giving.
