 Interesting August 12, 2008
This book is not well written--it's irritating how the order of happenings is jumbled, particularly concerning Dr. Carson's earlier life--but it's an interesting read about a fascinating person and his work. For those who think Dr. Carson comes across as arrogant--I think anyone who does what he does has to have a certain amount of arrogance!
 Inspirational, Uplifting a testament to what GOD can do! July 19, 2008
This is an excellent read for young adults onward. Interwoven in all of Dr. Carson's stories is a testament to what GOD can do. Dr. Carson was child by societal standards was not supposed to succeed. He was raised in a single parent home with a mother who battled mental illness yet he overcame struggles by focusing on what he could do as opposed to what he couldn't do. This book will truly inspire you to be the very best in your God led profession. Awesome!!!

This book has not only allow me to change my outlook on life, but I have also developed a more positive attitude towards myself. This is a very inspiring book and I wish there were more books on the market like it. These are the books children should be reading in class to help build their self-esteem.

Gifted Hands by Ben Carson is an autobiography about a young man from the ghetto who, with the help, the guidance and prayers of his mother, was able to excel in college and medical school and become the Chief Pediatric Neurologist at Johns Hopkins Medical Center in Baltimore, MD. His strong faith is a testament to how we can rely on the Lord.
