From Christy Award-winning author Rene Gutteridge comes the official novelization of The Ultimate Gift, based on Jim Stovall's bestselling inspirational story and the motion picture starring James Garner and Abigail Breslin--complete with a foreword by the original author.

Jason Stephens lives a life of wealth. A life of privilege. A life that's about to take a radical turn. Jason always had a straightforward relationship with his billionaire grandfather, Howard "Red" Stevens. He shunned him but welcomed his money. So, he figured when Red died, his part of the inheritance would be a simple cash transaction that would fund his extravagant lifestyle.

Instead, for Jason to receive his inheritance, he's given an ultimatum . . . a series of twelve tests or "gifts" as Red calls them. If he fails at any one of them, he loses everything. If he completes them all, the ultimate gift will be his.

One of those "gifts" involves finding a friend . . . something Jason has never experienced before. Yet this unlikely friendship and an unexpected romance may just open his eyes to what he's been missing all along.

Whether you've seen the movie or are discovering the story for the first time, The Ultimate Gift is an inspiring read that lingers long after the final page. Experience the journey in print--then watch the film adaptation to see these unforgettable lessons come to life.
