a holiday classic


My dad came across the best selling book, The Ultimate Gift by Jim Stovall and loved it. Tonight we sat down as a family to watch the movie (made off the book). I loved it so I thought I'd share it with you...

Summary-

Jason Stevens is living life without any responsibility when his wealthy grandfather dies, this trust fund baby is hoping for a big inheritance but instead his grandfather has devised a crash course on life with twelve tasks or "gifts" designed to challenge Jason. It's his journey of self-discovery and forces him to determine what is most important in life: money or happiness.

The Twelve gifts include- the gift of work, problems, friends, giving, gratitude, family, learning, money, laughter, a day, dreams, and love.

This is a very inspiring movie with a lot of valuable lessons. So if you are looking for a thought provoking movie to watch I recommend watching or reading, The Ultimate Gift.
