The Christmas Gift - Softcover
The Christmas Gift is a family story about the power of an apology, forgiveness and understanding to overcome all challenges and break down all walls. A lawyer, trying to help a client whose anger is overcoming his good judgment, tells the story of Scott and Ben. Scott, the new kid in school, crosses Ben, the school bully by standing up for one of his victims. As a result, Ben makes Scott his daily target. Eventually, fed up with the constant torment, Scott explodes in an emotional outburst that manages to cut Ben down in a way nobody else has been able to. Yet, Scott's conscience troubles him and he is driven to apologize to Ben. What results is a unique relationship between two most unlikely friends. This friendship, built on understanding and forgiveness, becomes the rock upon which the two boys rely when faced with a crisis that will change them, and generations after them, forever.

Review:
Let me warn you that it will be impossible for you to read The Christmas Gift by Bill Bennett without being forever changed. The magic of The Christmas Gift is that in writing the book Mr. Bennett has given us all a gift that will have far reaching consequences. I plan to pass this book on to my wife and will purchase copies as gifts to my two adult daughters. Thank you Mr. Bennett! The odyssey that Scott under takes because of an incident with Ben at school is an empowering example of how we're all expected to behave. I don't want to say too much more, but the gift of the apology is often under-rated. Keep a hanky or tissue near by. Again, thanks for writing this wonderful story. I highly recommend. Peace to all Robert Busko --Amazon Top 500 Reviewer
