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.

I was impressed by his mother's determination and inate ability to push through her many struggles, to encourage and affirm her children. Her rules about less TV and more reading is commendable, especially with boys who usually don’t like to read.
I was also impressed by Dr Carson's humility and ability to keep calm under pressure. His faith and trust in God to use the talent he's been given is very encouraging.

MOTHER'S ENCOURAGEMENT!

English is my second language, and yet, the narrator's voice was very clear.
The book itself? Every time I need a source of inspiration, I'll come back to listen to Ben Carson saying "I didn't do it for the competition, I did it because I wanted to be at my best"

I loved listening to this audio book it is written so well that the imagination could visualise it very easily into ones own movie! It is easy to listen to and very well narrated. Ben Carson has been very honest about himself which is encouraging for those who can relate to his up and downs in life and use them to rise to ones full potential. I highly recommend this audio book.

Inspiring and motivational!

Inspirational and enlightening audio book autobiography, which filled me with awe. It was great to learn of someone gifted by God. Had it not been for his mother, he may not have flourished, but God was very much in control. This wonderful example of God-led, humble neurosurgeon is so inspirational, and would be such an ideal role model for any Christian surgeon, medical doctor or GP. Actually, an example for any Christian 'head of Department', professional, anywhere.

Inspirational and riveting
