Product Description

What would you do to inherit a million dollars? Would you be willing to change your life? Jason Stevens is about to find out in Jim Stovall's The Ultimate Gift. Red Stevens has died, and the older members of his family receive their millions with greedy anticipation. But a different fate awaits young Jason, whom Stevens, his great-uncle, believes may be the last vestige of hope in the family. "Although to date your life seems to be a sorry excuse for anything I would call promising, there does seem to be a spark of something in you that I hope we can fan into a flame. For that reason, I am not making you an instant millionaire." What Stevens does give Jason leads to The Ultimate Gift. Young and old will take this timeless tale to heart.

Reviews


Nice, feel good piece
This was a short easy to read book that left me feeling inspired. I would recommend it as a good pick me up.

Great book!
Great book - should be required reading for all high school students (everyone for that matter) as far as I'm concerned.

Warm & Outstanding Read
"The Ultimate Gift" is an absolute MUST READ book. It is filled with life events that are changed to obtain the ultimate gift.

Lifes Most Important Lessons
Success is a journey and nothing demonstrates this concept better than this book. Inheriting all the money in the world doesn't do anything for you if you haven't earned or achieved something yourself.

Great With Special Education
I am a special education teacher in a junior high school. I use the audio version of popular and classic literature in my classroom. This allows my students to experience stories that they otherwise would miss out on. The Ultimate Gift was the first book that we read this year and my students loved it. This heart warming story brings to life the transition of one young man from a spoiled brat to a caring, compassionate young adult. It is a must read for adults and students alike.
