“The Gift is a perfect introduction to the gospel for visitors to your church or the curious skeptics in your circles during the Christmas season. It is a delightfully short message that is filled with clarity, humor, and hope -- perfect for stockings and Christmas mailings.”

“In this crisp, clear and brightly written introduction to Christianity, Glen shows how we are made to receive gifts and why that turns out to be wonderful news when we encounter the Giver.”

“Glen Scrivener has written a fascinating and compelling guide to the Gift behind our Christmas gifts. It was refreshing for me as a long-time Christian but will also be one of the first things I give to someone who might want to think about this for the very first time.”

“Whatever your current beliefs, don’t miss this book! It could be just the coffee shot you need to rethink reality.”

“The gospel is wrapped up in Glen’s humble and winsome words. He shows us how our give-and-take Christmas traditions can point us to the gracious Giver. This is worth sharing with family and friends”

“Reading 'The Gift' really did affect my facial expressions! There was a wry smile as the Author seemed to have been tracking my Christmases down the years. How did he know? Then there was a shake of the head as the core problem of the bad bits was diagnosed and laid bare, as well as an intake of breath as I saw that Christmas really did give me what I'd always wanted. It's a thrilling, deeply perceptive book, I thoroughly recommend it.”

“Accessible, encouraging and inspiring. This powerful book is a must-read for anyone exploring the real meaning of Christmas.”

“Christmas is a fantastic time to point people to Jesus, God’s greatest gift. In this easy-to-give-away book Glen uses his gifts as a wordsmith and communicator to do just that.”

“The Gift is a wonderful reflection on the act of giving presents. It starts with experiences we all share and uses these to explore what it means to be human, what it means to love and be loved, what it means to connect with the self-giving Love at the heart of reality, with God. It all adds up to a delightful book to read and a great present to give.”
