Staff Pick! Book Recommendation from Rev. Linda Marshall

The Ultimate Gift by Jim Stovall

Order here

The reading of a will following the death of a loved one can produce lots of emotion. In the book The Ultimate Gift, young adult Jason appears in the lawyer's office for the reading of the will from his great-uncle's massive fortune. Surprised, Jason discovers that in order to learn of his monetary inheritance, he was required to perform twelve specific tasks over the next year. Jason's journey takes him and the reader on a journey of discovery. Jason discovers gifts that are ultimately far more valuable than money...gifts that are reflected in the life and teachings of Jesus...gifts that contribute to a life filled with love, laughter, dreams, friends and gratitude. This book was the inspiration for the major motion picture of the same name starting James Garner and Abigail Breslin. This is an enjoyable and thought-provoking book and movie, which I highly recommend.
