Publisher's summary

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.

Gifts to cherish

This book will certainly give you good for thought. A great reminder, step by step, of the many ways we can and should appreciate the life we live.
A good, quick read that would be good to revisit as needed to put priorities back in proper order.

Truths to live by in a captivating story

The book was so gripping, I read and completed it in one day. Couldn't recommend it more highly, not just for young adults, but for anyone who comes to their own at whatever point in their life.

The Ultimate Gift Regiven

Thank you for this beautiful story. I seen the movie several times, but the book has outdone the movie and I believe that I will be applying some of the gifts that Jason learned throughout those 12 months to my own life. Thank you Jim Stovall!

excellent reminder of what's important in life

I loved this book. This is actually the third time I've read it and I've watched the movie twice. I loved Jason's transformation over the year. These gifts are wonderful guidelines for all of us. Tom Bosley did a great job as the reader.
