ben carson

by ruth from london

ben carson is my role model

I went to a Christian bookstore to get some books. Then I saw Gifted Hands by Dr. Ben Carson. I had heard so much about him and how he saved the lives of people especially children.

Then i just said let me get it. I counted my money and saw that it wasn't enough.

I took the book glanced throught it and then I decided to buy it. It took me three weeks to be able to gather money to get the book.

I got home and started reading the book. When i got to the stage about his dad leaving, I started crying. during the period that I read that book, I cried at almost every page and so I never read it when I was outside. I went to my room and read it when I am alone.

That was the best book i has ever read.

His story is great.

i strongly believe BEN CARSON is gifted. From his books, it is so clear that God had a plan for him.

That was when I really new that if God loves you so much and he has a purpose for you, no man can change it.

Ben Carson changed my perspective about life.

When i saw people talking about heros, I was always like ---what is all this things about? I thought I can never have any hero, but then, when I read his books, I knew that although our stories are different but there is this thing that says his books are meant for me.

From reading his story, I now truly believe that "no matter what the people say about you, you will get to whereever God wants to get to."

i would say reading Gifted Hands was one of the greatest step i have made in my life. It gave me the courage and boldness to speak to people without being afraid.

It made me believe in myself and know that no matter what the situation is that I am in today, there will be joy tomorrow.

I will really love to see Ben Carson, but I do not know the reason I want to. Maybe just to know if he is real.

He is a true hero for every youth. If you are a youth and you read the book with out feeling anything, then, I don't know what to say.

To end this up, I believe that Ben Carson was inspired to write this book especially for me, although I can not really describe the way the book has changed me.
