Publisher's 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.

You won't regret spending your money on this book. My teenage son wanted this book for his birthday gift rather than a toy or video game. I say he made an excellent choice.

This book is without question a definite must read. I was truly blessed to have this book put in my hands. The storyline is dramatic, but very poignant. I'm convinced that anyone who reads this book will be a better person for having read the book (true obviously only if the principles taught in the book are applied). There are probably about 6 copies of this book floating out there that I've let people borrow under the condition that I don't want the book back unless they didn't benefit from it. I haven't had one copy returned yet.
