The Gift of the Magi By O. Henry In “The Gift of the Magi” O. Henry makes the statement that the wisest kind of gift is one that comes from the heart.

“Selfless love” The story I chose to write about is The Gift of the Magi‚ which was written in 1906 by O. Henry.

The Three Stages of the Magi It is within the nature of humans to search for something greater than themselves.

One of the biggest debates between Christians is how to read the Bible. By understanding what He meant by what He said‚ one can fulfill God’s will. There are various interpretations to His words.
