Gifted Hands: The Ben Carson Story by Ben Carson and Cecil Murphey MAG
Do you like real, life-changing books? Then Gifted Hands: The Ben Carson Story is perfect for you. This inspiring autobiography tells the touching story of an underprivileged boy who grows up to be a successful surgeon.
Reading about what Carson went through will make you think about what you need to do to get where you want to be. You’ll meet all the great people who helped Carson get where he is today. Each chapter is a new adventure from his childhood, college years, and all the way to his adulthood.
He writes so vividly; it feels as if you are growing up with him. Since he’s a doctor, he uses a lot medical terms, and he uses old-fashioned words like “funky” and “capped.” Despite the vocabulary, this is a big book of life lessons.
I love this book because it reminds me of my own life, except for some obvious differences. It will inspire you just like it did me.
