Book Review of Gifted Hands

Gifted Hands


this is one of my favorite books ! i firmly believe it should be read by anyone . as an ex-homeschooler , bookseller and lover of books , this book , in a nutshell covers everything i believe in about the power of reading and the love of books . sure ,there are probably smarter books written about the how an why of reading , but THIS book offers an example . ben darson started reading , when his mother made him read ever so many books a week . it improved his schoolgrades and was the basis of him going on to higher education . in todays times , when everything is electronical and books seem to get out of vogue and be replaced by ebooks , ben carsons biography shows that a library card and verocious reading can , in the end , help the man . BUT !!! what most of all impressed me , and made me cry many times , was his honesty that showed through the whole book about his total dependency on G-d . ben carson gives glory to whom glory is due and because of his humility in acknowleding this fact ,this makes it a book worth reading .
