Gifted Hands: The Ben Carson Story

by Ben Carson, Cecil Murphey
Gifted Hands: The Ben Carson Story
Gifted Hands: The Ben Carson Story

Inspiring journey of neurosurgeon Ben Carson's life.

I think you'll find "Gifted Hands" quite compelling; it’s the kind of true story that offers a generous dose of inspiration. Ben Carson's journey from a struggling student in inner-city Detroit to becoming one of the world's leading neurosurgeons is nothing short of remarkable. It’s a testament to the power of determination, faith, and education, and I believe it could offer a motivational spark for anyone facing their own hurdles.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

Gifted Hands by and about Ben Carson, M.D., is the inspiring story of an inner-city kid with poor grades and little motivation, who, at age thirty-three, became director of pediatric neurosurgery at Johns Hopkins University Hospital. 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. In 1987, Dr. Carson gained worldwide recognition for his part in the first successful separation of Siamese twins joined at the back of the head -- an extremely complex and delicate operation that was five months of planning and twenty-two hours of actual surgery, involving a surgical plan that Carson helped initiate. Gifted Hands reveals a man with humility, decency, compassion, courage, and sensitivity who serves as a role model for young people (and everyone else) in need of encouragement to attempt the seemingly impossible and to excel in whatever they attempt. Dr. Carson also describes the key role that his highly intelligent though relatively uneducated mother played in his metamorphosis from an unmotivated ghetto youngster into one of the most respected neurosurgeons in the world.
