Gifted Hands: The Ben Carson Story (Zonderkidz Biography)

A teacher at my daughters school suggested she read some non-fiction books. While doing a search for good stories I found this book. The reviews seemed to be very positive so I gave it a go and we read it together. It truly was an inspirational book, for adults as well as children. A great story which kept us wanting to read more. I was so pleased to read that this talented man was not ashamed to talk about God and how He was involved in his life. In an era when "God" seems to be nearly a dirty word I found it completely refreshing and wonderful. I wish there were more books (and television shows and movies) like this as examples for our children to be inspired by.

My eldest son was given this book to read by someone from church he loved it so much I purchased one. My youngest son read it and he also couldn't put the book down, they have both said the book has truly inspired them.Every school should have this book and every young person should read this book. It doesn't surprise me that he is now in the running for the Presidency.

This is a book everybody should read! A "must" especially for our young people! We want to see them a success in their future, and an educated generations of young people will surely contribute to the well-being of a good and Christian society! I simply love this wonderful man - Dr. Ben Carson! God bless all his endeavours!

Bought this book as I thought it would help inspire the kids to read more than they do, it has really helped as it is a discussion tool for me and my 8 year old. Hoping it will be of long term effect on both me and the kids

Good price. But u can't see from the picture - it's a small sized book.Thanks.

We love a good book and my 10 year old son loved this book so much that he read it twice. This book really does boost and empower boys to be the best that they can be and acknowledge that they can do whatever they put their minds to.

This is an excellent book that tells the story of an amazing man, who shows that working hard, believing in yourself, trusting in God completely can help you to overcome all odds to achieve God's given purpose in your life.Thank you Ben.

Prompt delivery and Beautiful book. Bought for my children to read cos they watched the film and requested for the book too.

I love this book too. This book shows how a mother plays the vital role on a child's growth, either mentally or spiritually. I highly recommend this book for children and parents.

My 11 yr old daughter needed to read a biography for a book report. We had an Amazon gift certificate and thought we would use it. Since it was February black history month, we originally searched for Bill Cosby, as she likes his TV show. We found this book instead. What a fantastic book to read!!! My daughter read it aloud to me entirely on her own, only stopping for those medical terms. She is NOT a book lover at all.... only reads because a book report is due, and even she commented how well written this book was and how much she enjoyed it. We both found that reading it was very inspiring and motivational. I enjoyed it just as much as she did too!! It was very well written for kids, and you don't feel like the adult version was 'dumbed' down. We were so enthralled with Ben's story, that we put his biography movie "Gifted Hands" starring Cuba Gooding Jr in our Netflix queue...we can't wait to watch it!

I enjoyed this book, particularly the beginning. Near the end it went into the medical side of his life and seemed to lose a little of the personal story. Overall I would suggest others read this.

It inspired me because Ben Carson came from being in a poor family to a very wise neurologist.Against all odds

I greatly enjoyed this book and all the interesting facts in it. Ben Carson seems to be a great role model with all he has pushed through and accomplished. His story has encouraged me and I’m sure many others. I hear how his mother had Ben and his brother read books and write reports. Then, Ben became the smartest kid in the class. I personally love reading, and I’ve gotten away from it. But, Ben’s story encourages me to read on. My parents have me read educational books in between books I read for fun. Before I wished I didn’t have to, but now I appreciate it.
