Review: "The Gift"



                Do you like gifts?

                Do you like Christmas presents?

                How do you react to them?

                Glen Scrivener looks at our gift-giving – and especially our Christmas gift-giving, in his book, The Gift:  What if Christmas Gave You What You’ve Always Wanted? – and he walks us through the gift-giving dance of “It’s for you,” “You shouldn’t have,” “I wanted to,” and “Thank you.”

                Scrivener explains that the same dance that we have with our loved ones is a dance that God has with us regarding the gift He has given us in His Son and the salvation He has merited.

                How do we respond?

                Does it make gift-giving all the more meaningful to us?

                Will you refuse this gift?
