Gifted Hands by Ben Carson

Gifted Hands by Ben Carson was very inspiring to me. While the writing is not superb, the material is fantastic! Carson’s testimony is really a wonderful example of seeing what God wants of you and trusting Him to get it for you.

Carson grew from poverty to one of the most skilled pediatric neurosurgeons in the world. His strong-willed and faith-filled mother taught him he could be whatever he wanted and to not accept anything less than his best. She, along with teachers and his wife, Candy, saw the potential of what God could make in Ben Carson.

He also chronicles some of his amazing surgeries, telling his readers of the strong parents and sick children who came to him seeking a miracle. Often times they found it in the God-gifted hands of Dr. Carson. Other times, the circumstances were just too dire and the complications too intense to save the patients. Dr. Carson gives a heartfelt look into the life of a doctor who feels every triumph and every loss.
