About this book

Nothing beats the feeling of giving, or receiving, the perfect gift.

The most meaningful gifts we receive make us feel known, loved and valued. And when we give a gift like that, it's like we're putting ourselves in our present. And at Christmas, that's exactly what God did.

This light-hearted and lively book explores how our gift-giving traditions show us a glimpse of a giving God. Evangelist Glen Scrivener helps readers to celebrate the gift of life in a world brimming with beauty, before taking us to John 3:16 to unwrap the Christmas gift that can give us what we've always wanted, and what we really need.

Endorsements

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.

Rico Tice Founder, Christianity Explored Ministries

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.

Andrew Wilson Teaching Pastor, King's Church London; Author, God of All Things

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

Quina Aragon Author, Love Made: A Story of God's Overflowing, Creative Heart

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

Gavin Calver CEO, Evangelical Alliance

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.

Roy Crowne Executive Director HOPE

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.

Tim Chester Crosslands Training; Author of Enjoying God

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

Rebecca McLaughlin Author, Confronting Christianity

Customer Reviews

5.00 stars Good book

 

Finally a not cheesy honest and beautiful Christmas message for those outside the church. I'm encouraged and inspired to simply join in the giving of our generous God! Thanks Glen.

5.00 stars “A message that everyone needs”

 

In his inimitable way, Scrivener takes us from the ridiculous to the sublime as he describes the average Christmas we all experience in spite of ourselves. Written in an easy style, he points us to Jesus as the ultimate gift that satisfies every longing we might have if only we can enjoy it instead of questioning the Giver. Great to give instead of a
Christmas card, but make sure you have read it yourself first, so you can answer anyone’s questions! You have to experience the God of Christmas yourself before you can recommend Him to others.

5.00 stars Great little book with abig message.

 

Great little book. A quick read with a big message. Glen's talent for using 'everyday' language in 'everyday' situations makes for easy reading for those who don't do the deep theology thing. I purchased a dozen of these to give to friends at church and in our small home group and they were very well received.
