What would you do to inherit a million dollars? Would you be willing to change your life? Jason Stevens is about to find out. Red Stevens has died, and the older members of his family receive their millions with greedy anticipation. But a different fate awaits young Jason, whom his great-uncle Stevens believed might be the last vestige of hope in the family. "Although to date your life seems to be a sorry excuse for anything I would call promising, there does seem to be a spark of something in you that I hope we can fan into a flame. For that reason, I am not making you an instant millionaire." What Stevens does give Jason leads to The Ultimate Gift. Young and old will take this timeless tale to heart.

A profound follow-up to the bestselling book and major motion picture, The Ultimate Gift. When Jason Stevens found out he had to jump through hoops to get an unnamed inheritance from his billionaire grandfather, he was not amused. By the time he'd finished learning the lessons, he'd become a different man. Ready to tackle the duties of running a multibillion-dollar trust, he is once again derailed, this time by his pugnacious family. Not content with their cattle ranches and oil fields, his aunts, uncles, and even his parents are determined to see every last dime entrusted to their own self-serving pockets. With none of the reluctance he initially showed for the gift, he eagerly accepts the challenge and pushes himself to prove, not only to his family and the court but also to the world, that with determination and the simple tenets of the gift, anyone can lead the ultimate life.

This edited volume examines the relationship between collective intentionality and inferential theories of meaning. The book consists of three main sections. The first part contains essays demonstrating how researchers working on inferentialism and collective intentionality can learn from one another. The essays in the second part examine the dimensions along which philosophical and empirical research on human reasoning and collective intentionality can benefit from more cross-pollination. The final part consists of essays that offer a closer examination of themes from inferentialism and collective intentionality that arise in the work of Wilfrid Sellars. Groups, Norms and Practices provides a template for continuing an interdisciplinary program in philosophy and the sciences that aims to deepen our understanding of human rationality, language use, and sociality.

Forward By: Brenda L. Stovall We have all sinned and come short of the Glory of God. But when the epiphany of the realization of an apparent error has occurred, we must make a u-turn from traveling the "Broad Way" and redirect our steps to the road "less traveled" and become the spiritual trailblazers we were meant to be. This book is a road map to success retold in a poetical format for those who have forgotten their atlas at home, were given "wrong instructions," have taken "shortcuts" "detours" or just "stuck in traffic." This book is for the proud who are too afraid to pull over to ask for directions for the sake of looking bad, but not realizing that they are already looking bad because everyone else in the car saw the exit sign miles ago, but they choose not to listen and continued on their own journey until they've reached the turnpike of life and just don't know how to get off. It is when we are on the road to success, we will obtain fulfillment because now we have stepped into our purpose, because He knows the plans He has for us.of good and not evil. He is soo good; we do not even have to fret because He has ordered our steps. He is Jesus Christ. This is not your typical poetry book. This book is meant to unveil the layers that have been cloaked by the enemy, to free people's minds and hearts, to allow them the space to breathe again because we have a redemptive quality in God. Knowing the price for our sins was paid at Calvary. So when others laugh and scorn you for your past, you will know without a doubt, that the redeemed of the Lord can say.So That there is a Sea called Forgetfulness and we need to learn how to swim in it. Instead of stirring up the philosophical jargonof "what happened in your childhood," we need to forgive and forget so that we may be healed. That we need to stop living in the swamp of our past and swim in the Pool of Bethesda.the place where others have stepped in front of us and left us behind to die instead of taking us to the troubled water stirred by the Angel. So rise, take up your beds, walk & be free
