Description

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 destinyHone your God-given giftsFace 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.

    Never thought that I’d come across a book like this. I was just researching about Pre-Med and it was suggested that every Pre-Med student read this book. I can’t thank God enough that I came across it I just finished it and has served as a reminder of whats possible when you put God first in your life to accomplish anything! Amen Thank you Dr. Ben Carson I hope to meet you someday when I become a Neurosurgeon myself in Jesus name!
