The Gift: A Novel Audiobook (Unabridged)

" This book was better than I predicted! I appreciated the message and the emotion in this book. Great read for the holiday or ANYTIME at all! "

" This was an easy read for a busy time of year. "

" A beautiful story of a mother's love, a little boy with a special gift who shares it unselfishly at the risk of loosing his own life and a man who found out that there was good in life with the unselfishness of others. "

" This book was seriously sooo lame. We listened to it on the drive from CA to UT because we didn't have any other good book options. It was so silly, I was lauging aloud most the time. "

" Although I am a big Richard Paul Evans fan, this was not my favorite of his books. His writing is very poetic and all his books include sweet, warm love stories that I enjoy. This one was no different but it just seemed a little too fantastic and predictable. The villains were not believable and the man's past too contrived. It is a fast read and I didn't not enjoy it but it didn't stand up to the books I've currently been enjoying. "

" A great book. I can't imagine being put in her position. You want to teach your children to be kind and serve others, but at what a price! "

" Not as good as the 1st one "

" Now this is a curl up and read book. . .in one or two nights. One of those feel good books! "

" I always appreciate Richard Paul Evans novels. His books have good messages and I can always count on appropriate content. His Christmas books put me in the mood for the holidays and are the right length and reading level for the crazy holiday season (when I have less reading time). "

" This book reminded me of the kind of stories that they use for Hallmark movies. It had all the important elements: joy, sadness, and wonder. Although the ending was predictable, it was overall a good read. "

" This is a quick read that I thoroughly enjoyed. Sometimes we waste so much time living in the past instead of enjoying what we have in front of us today. Makes you think about love and loss and what a gift we have in front of us at this moment. Enjoy "

" I have never read a RPE book i didn't enjoy and recommend. What's different about "the gift" is that it was like reading RPE for the first time and I remembered why I fell in love with "The Christmas Box" "

" A wonderfully inspiring novel. Beautifully written and filled with great characters. Redemption and faith treated without being over heavy or preachy. Definitely a tear-jerker but with hope as the ultimate outcome. "

" A very touching book, ala Richard Paul Evans "

" I love Richard Paul Evans' work! And this is no exception. I thought while I was reading it that there was no way this one would make me cry, but it did at the very end. No other other puts me in the kind of emotional place that he does. Beautiful story; beautifully written. "

" You will never go wrong with any of his books! "

" This is the best book. It's a book that makes you cry! I loved it! You all need to just read it! "

" A real loving story about a man carrying enough hurt and pain as well as an illness and a little boy carrying enough to help him take that pain away. Very inspirational story. "

" so good - have a box of tissues handy! "

" Excellent. Very moving. "

" I liked this book. It was nice to have a book I could read in one day and then get back to what I really need to be doing. "

" What can I say? - I think I'm the last of my friends to read this. It was very good and I highly recommend it. Very well written. "

" Not my favorite Richard Paul Evans book, but I still loved it. I love how his writing just flows and I love the excerpts from his characters journals in the beginning of every chapter. "

" He has done it again, Richard Paul Evans never ceases to make me cry and believe in the healing power of love. "

" This book is as inspiring as his first Five Lessons. And guess what? You don't have to be a woman to gain enormous benefit from it. Check it out! "

" This audiobook was a quick listen! I would've given it three stars, but at the end of the audiobook, he peddles his online community for $10 to join and $9.95 per month. That was a turnoff! Otherwise, it was some pretty good, if not old advice. "

" A very, very basic book with absolutely nothing new in it at all. He's not one of my favorite fiction authors and he's definitely not one of my favorite personal finance authors either. "

" Practical 5 helpful tactics. I always like a good list. One of the few millionaires that doesn't want to make money off of his financial self-help books. It's very similar to his 5 lessons a Millionaire taught me, with some adaptations specifically for women. "

" Yep, my husband got this for me to read. I'm just waiting for him to read his version! We are on the road to financial betterness and if we did what this book says it would probably go a lot faster! Oh well. "

" i saw this on a friends goodreads and thought i'd try it. it's a great book to open your eyes about the way you do money. this isn't a budget book but a manage your money book. "

" I enjoyed the way this book talked about money and how we think about/handle money and savings. I read this book in one evening. It was a quick read with some good tips. "

" This was a short easy read ...nothing like a good reminder to make good financial decisions. "

" This book is totally awesome!! I really like the way Richard Paul Evans writes. This book will help you reach your financial goals. There is a lot of great advice and some really wonderful quotes. It's very motivating and to the point. I loved it! "

" Good suggestions. I've tried several and they work. "

" This book was very inspirational and motivating. I am excited to put the principles to work and see what happens! "

" Loved the book. Easy to read with many useful conceps. It teaches you how to get out of debt and how to plan for the future. Tells you all that you need and how to get started. "

" Really liked a lot of his ideas about money. I tend to get grumpy when I read anything about finances, so it made me grumpy, but I will definitely use several of his suggestions. My favorite : Is that the best you can do? "

" Good sound financial advice in an easy to read and understand format. It gives a basic introduction to getting out of debt and planning for your financial future. "
