Spiritual Estate Planning: Can The Rich Get To Heaven? (A Lay Cistercian Lectio Divina Series)

Have you read stories in the Scriptures about it being impossible to get to Heaven if you are wealthy? Are those stories true? Is the converse true? Do you have to be physically poor to enter the Kingdom of Heaven? Is this something you should worry about when you are old and gray? Let's examine what it means to be rich. You need to think about what you can take with you to Heaven. The answers may surprise you. The most important journey of your life is the one you are living now. Why not take the time to begin packing your suitcase for Heaven? This book will show you how. Our society is so caught up with material wealth that we are quick to jump to conclusions about Heaven. Don't the Scriptures say it is easier to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to get to Heaven? Does that mean you must be poor to get to Heaven? Think about the last time you took a trip. You had to carry two suitcases plus a carry-on. You packed your things in your bedroom and lifted both suitcases to leave. Wait! They are so full of clothes, you can't take both of them through the door frame at the same time. You have to set one down and take them through the door one at a time. See any parallels with your life? If you pack your bags with physical goodies for the trip to Heaven, you won't be able to take them through the final door of life--death. This book is about what you can take with you to Heaven, what you can leave as your true legacy, and how to start packing for the trip. Getting the answers to these seemingly innocuous questions are at the heart of spirituality. You need spirituality to unlock the mysteries of why you are here and what is your destiny. The question you should be asking is: Am I rich enough to get to Heaven? Yes, if you pack God's riches and not yours.
