The Gift 50
5 E
Every now and again a unique piece of creative writing comes along which has the power to uplift and resonate long after the reading of the last sentence.
The Gift is such a book. The author has used his unique talents to create a motivational piece; the concluding punch line of which has left readers visibly moved an elevated.
Gavin Sharples says “I honestly believe that this book was a gift to me. There is not a shadow of a doubt in my mind that this book was inspired by God.
Whether you believe in a traditional God or a universal force in the cosmic soup, I believe a loving force greater than I inspired this piece. I am merely the conduit through which it passed. The entire time I was writing, I felt as if I was being told what to write. The words flowed effortlessly and I have to admit that during those original three or four hours, I cried on many occasions. I wrote consciously and physically and the words did come from my mind, but the ease with which they came and the emotion I felt, was something I can only explain by saying “it came through me but not from me”.
