About this listen

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.

Beautiful

dr. Carson is an amazing person. The book is definitely better than the movie although the movie is amazing. I enjoyed how he continually gave credit to God for guiding his hands.

remarkable man

It's nonsensical how many have demonized this man for his political views. This is reprehensible considering his accomplishments and how those actions have changed so many lives in a positive way. It's ok for black men to be conservative; even if you disagree with their politics, it doesn't change their contributions or taint their accomplishments. This man's professional career is nothing short of heroic and brilliant. "Gifted Hands" is a beautiful story of the American Dream.
