An inspirational story of what truly matters in life.

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 motivational story to heart.

The Ultimate Gift is a book that I use in my Sophmore English classes. It is a book that has real value and I recommend it for everyone but especially for teenagers. There are 12 gifts presented and all 12 are necessary for a truly fulfilled life! This is clean, well-written book and although the adaptation of the movie is different than the book, it is a great follow-up after the book is read! BUY THE BOOK!

Check the author before buying

I've found that there are two books out there with this title that share reviews. The first is "The Ultimate Gift" by Jim Stovall. The second is "The Ultimate Gift" by Rene Gutteridge. The second one is the movie version of the story. The original story was changed when made into a movie, as most books are. When I bought this book on my kindle the other day, the "about the author" section on Amazon was about Jim Stovall, and the reviews about the book (both editorial and customer) were about the original book; however, when I started reading it, it didn't take me long to figure out that it wasn't the original, since I had read that a few years ago. For those of you who want the book to be just like the movie, the Rene Gutteridge version is the way to go. If you want the original version, then Jim Stovall is the author you need. Just be sure to check which author is listed at the very top of the page.

Quite a gift.

Reviewed in the United States on June 4, 2017

I began the book with no expectations. I only knew that being a Cook offering it would be Christ centered even if it did not spend a moment "preaching." I am slow on the uptake and it took me a couple of chapters to get the hang of what was going on. After that, each chapter contained its own variation on the theme. That was what kept me coming back for more, the next transformation toward the "Ultimate" transformation. The pace was maintained by each month being the presentation, sometimes a little of the struggle and the summary. This could have been a much longer book but I think that it wasn't was very deliberate. Redeeming transformation is a cause for rejoicing and this story brought joy, education and edification. Very entertainingly done.

The Ultimate Gift

Reviewed in the United States on February 4, 2018

The Ultimate Gift is truly one of the best books I’ve ever read. Mr Stovall outlined ten gifts that are ours to give and receive at anytime in our lives. There are a couple of them that I will be acting on immediately in my life. I don’t want to share them as they are deeply personal, but I can tell you that acting on those gifts will impact my life and heart in ways I never imagined before. We have so much to be grateful for, whether we are rich or poor in “money”, “things” or “life”. Thank you, Mr Stovall, for the reminder and helping me remember I have a purpose in this life.

First of all I would recommend this one to all the home schooling parents, public educators, and to anyone who needs to take a moment to get their thoughts about faith and how to live it out focused in the right direction.
It will center any one who can be centered. And grab more than a few borderline cases.
I can't recommend this book high enough!!!

An inspiration

The story starts out as Red Stevens a very wealthy man dies, and his friend and lawyer administers his will. Red leaves his millions to his ungrateful family except one his great nephew Jason. Red has seen some spark in Jason and wishes to give him an ultimate gift, but Jason will need to strive for this gift. As the book progresses through the chapters, the young man, Jason, transforms from an insolent know-it-all to a much different person.

A voice from the past challenges him to discover about The Gift of Work, the Gift of Money, The Gift of Friends, The Gift of Learning, The Gift of Problems (yes, problems), The Gift of Family, The Gift of Laughter, The Gift of Dreams, The Gift of Giving, The Gift of Gratitude, the Gift of a Day, The Gift of Love, and of course the Ultimate gift. The series of learning’s, prescribed each month by the old man by videotape, gives a new meaning to Jason's life. Each of the gifts wisdoms is described in Jason's words as he gains new realizations.
I found myself surprisingly captivated by this book. I couldn't put it down. In clear simple language the storyteller leads the reader through a process of discovery in a quest for life's great gifts. This book should be read by everyone young and old.

Read your freebies 2014, contemporary fiction with Christian ethics Read 12/27 ebook format 5 stars

Red Stevens, a mega cattle and oil man, has died and its up to Theodore Hamilton ESQ to oversee the distribution of assets to his rather greedy family. Not able to see beyond what they "get", each inheritor is told, and then escorted out. All but his great nephew Jason, for whom Red has set up a series of Life Lessons that might prove him able to see beyond the money.

Within the past month I wrote a review of this author's Gift of a Legacy. This small book is its basis, so I knew a lot about the expectations around the inheritance of Jason Stevens from his great uncle Red Stevens. I almost think that helped me see why things were set up as they were in that book, as there is interaction of the same characters in different situations. Legacy also let's us in to see how Jason's ultimate gift has continued to change him.

This is a great book on life and the lessons you learn and pass on when you least expect them. This book was made into a movie with the late James Garner and Abigal Breslin. I'm definately going to track it down.

Game changer on how you can live your life. Either be a spoiled brat or do what you're supposed to be doing: live the life of service. No preaching, no mental or emotional beatings. Just thoughtful and eye-opening reasoning. I read this book (have the original, which is very well loved & read to the point of the book falling apart) every New Year's Eve so I have a better perspective for the upcoming year.

For me it was too much to read as a gift set. Had a read each book over a longer period of time with gaps I would have appreciated books more and rated it higher. ( too repetitive)

The gifts are wonderful and caused me to examine my life choices more.

Wonderful Book

This book is truly inspirational and beautifully written. It has an inspirational message (I have not seen the film, so cannot comment on the differences between the book and the film).

I have since discovered that there are two other "Ultimate.." books which I shall also be purchasing.

This was my first read of a Jim Stovall novel and based on this first book I shall be purchasing more after the Ultimate books.
