About this ebook

Gifted Hands reveals the remarkable journey of Dr. Ben Carson from an angry, struggling young boy with everything stacked against him to the director of pediatric neurosurgery at the Johns Hopkins Children's Center.

As a boy, he did poorly in school and struggled with anger. If it were not for the persistence of his mother, a single parent who worked three jobs and pushed her sons to do their best, his story may have ended tragically.

Join Dr. Carson on his journey from a struggling inner-city student to the pinnacle of his career as a world-renowned neurosurgeon. A man of humility, decency, compassion, courage, and sensitivity, he now serves as a role model for everyone who wants to achieve their God-given potential.

As you learn more about Dr. Carson's amazing story, you'll be inspired to:

Take charge of your own destiny
Hone your God-given gifts
Face adversity head on

Filled with fascinating stories, Gifted Hands will transport you into the operating room to witness surgeries that made headlines around the world, and into the private mind of a compassionate, God-fearing physician who lives to help others.

Going to read your book, because I know that they are magnificent. Because you Ben Carson have to be a magnificent man for our God the Father the Holy Spirit gave you the gift in your hands, and the knowledge in your mind and the timing just right when and where to do everything. Because I know. I had 2/3 of my left temporal lobe removed from a Dr up there where you worked. It added 25 years onto my life. I was near death. Thank God for Men like you! I know He can give you the power to do what you REALLY WANT TO DO!!!

Dr. Benjamin Carson, who found faith in himself beating all odds against a world that wasn't kind. With prayers and love from his mother, gave him the strength and tools to work with. He became Chief Pediatric Neurosurgery at Johns Hopkins University. My son who will enter 10th grade in August, as part of the schools curriculum the students must read two books over their summer break. And one of those books will be; Gifted Hands, by Benjamin Carson. So proud.

An interesting story about this man beating the odds since childhood. He was bullyed and couldn't read. But then he became successful in life. Benjamin Carson is my role model.
