Red Stevens owned everything a man could ask for, and he generously supported his entire extended family, asking nothing in return. Near the end of his life, however, Red realized one thing: in giving his family everything, he had given them nothing. Years of being provided with unearned incomes had caused them to become greedy and selfish. Yet there was one who wasn't completely lost. One who still had the potential to change and to learn. That one was Red's great-nephew, Jason.

This is the story of Red Stevens, a self made man who realized, almost too late, the terrible mistake he had made. It is the story of Jason Stevens, as he makes a year long spiritual journey down a path that will lead to the incredible inheritance that his uncle has planned for him. And it is also our story, as we travel along with Jason, learning lessons in the most unexpected ways - lessons that we can learn and apply every day, making "The Ultimate Gift" our own.

Summary: Lifes Most Important Lessons
Comment: Success is a journey and nothing demonstrates this concept better than this book. Inheriting all the money in the world doesn't do anything for you if you haven't earned or achieved something yourself.

Summary: Great With Special Education
Comment: I am a special education teacher in a junior high school. I use the audio version of popular and classic literature in my classroom. This allows my students to experience stories that they otherwise would miss out on. The Ultimate Gift was the first book that we read this year and my students loved it. This heart warming story brings to life the transition of one young man from a spoiled brat to a caring, compassionate young adult. It is a must read for adults and students alike.
