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.
