Gifted Hands: The Ben Carson Story

From the streets of inner-city Detroit, where he was the worst student in his class and tormented by a violent temper, to the operating room at Johns Hopkins Hospital, where he became one of the world's most celebrated neurosurgeons -- Ben Carson's story is proof that God can take the most unlikely person and do the impossible. This inspiring autobiography shows how faith, a praying mother, and a commitment to education transformed a boy everyone had written off into a man who separated conjoined twins and pioneered surgical techniques that saved thousands of lives. For young Africans dreaming big against difficult odds, this book is a shot of pure, faith-fueled motivation. You cannot read it without believing that God has a plan for your life too.
