The Greatest Success in the World
by Og Mandino
A parable set in Jerusalem: Zaccheus the tax collector passes on 'the commandments of success' he learned from the other Zaccheus, the one in the Gospel. It is slight, devout and built around a decent set of rules on work, honesty and generosity.
Read it if…
you want a Christian-framed success parable in one sitting.
Skip it if…
you want substance over story.
Three things you will actually use
- Success without integrity is a loan.
- Work is a form of prayer.
- Generosity is the last step of earning.
Do this first
Copy out the commandments and keep them where you work.
Our verdict
Slight, devout, decent rules.
