Publisher's summary

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.

Not full book

This version of the book is only the first four chapters of the book bur i has 22 chapters. Yes i know i should've looked before i bought it but i think it is 100% unfair to allow such a short version. I have to do a book report on this and now i have to move my money around to get the correct version
