I ordered this book last night and didn't sleep until I had finished it. This man, Ben Carson, is wholly dedicated to doing whatever he is led to, with guidance and dependence on God. That's how he was raised out of poverty, being raised by a single mother. That's how he worked to become THE BEST surgeon, separating conjoined twins in many countries around the world. His experience assembling huge teams for such surgeries proves his ability to lead, and to think outside the box. Heck, to him there is NO BOX!I wanted to know what all the buzz was about him winning two straw polls and coming in second in a third. I believe his credibility is substantiated by his story, as evidenced to me through this very captivating and enthrallling book. If he doesn't have expertise., he's humble enough to find that knowledge and to follow it.
I read this book with my 9 year old son. It was fascinating, exciting and so inspirational. It changed my sons opinion about reading and inspired him to become a better student. It encouraged us and reaffirmed our faith in God and his purpose for each of us! We loved it!
This is one of the best books I have ever read and I've read a lot. I was shopping in Winco on my weekly trip and I glanced at their booksand saw this book. Since I've heard a lot about Ben Carson as a possible Presidential Candidate and have liked everything I've heard except for the fact he believes in mandatory Vaccines which I do not I decided to pick it up and learn a little more about him. Rising from Obscure Poverty by a single mother (I was also raised by a single mother) I was very impressed with him. He wanted to become a doctor and he did. A world famous Neurosurgeon. Reading about Patrick and Benjamin Binder and other Siamese twins that he separated was amazing. This man is extremely talented. I can't even imagine being able to accomplish some of the things this man has accomplished. He also has supreme faith in God as do I and because of that I was extremely impressed with his faith. The miracles accomplished through this man from God are extremely impressive.This is the first book in a long time that I had an extremely hard time putting down because it was so interesting. Though it says it is the revised kids edition I as an adult thoroughly enjoyed it. A very impressive man. I just donated a little bit of money to his campaign.
My kids LOVED this book! Well written and easy to understand for children. I read the version for adults and it was so great because my kids and I were able to have in depth discussions about this book. An amazing story, with a positive message of how with hard work and perseverance, one CAN overcome just about any obstacle to fulfill their dreams! I honestly think everyone in America needs to read this book!
I am currently reading it to my fifth graders. This is the second time I have read this book to my students;the first being my then fourth graders. Each time, the class was enthralled with the book. We need MORE books like this,with realistic story lines and applicable messages that children can apply and get life lessons and inspiration from. I feel the current crop of trendy books are pushing more and more "empty calorie" books on children. Great book! I am ordering several copies for our school library(which sadly doesn't have a librarian).
I chose this book to do a school book report, although I have seen the movie already it helped, abut other words I loved this book, You will too.Reading how racial the people were to him, and all sorts of disappointments, and how he recovers after his dad left.
Every child should read this book!
Excellent book! America would benefit greatly if everyone would read Ben Carson's books.
