Great story of the development of a nation striving to provide liberty and justice for all wrapped with the compelling tale of two boys who were bought up by a tough loving, hard working mother in the mid twentieth century. Doctor Carson shares his insight from a first person perspective of growing up in impoverished environments and overcoming seemingly insurmountable odds to becoming a superlative neurosurgeon and how America has evolved (and devolved) through the centuries into where we are today. He has a great belief that with some corrective action this nation can become even better than ever. I found myself unable to put this book down once my reading of it commenced.

On a reccent visit to my sister in laws home in Midland,Texas I was reading thru her copy and was really mipressed by what I was reading, so as soon as I got back home I orederd my own copy. In reading Dr Carson's book I have learned things that I did not know about our founding fathers and their love and dedication to making America the " Grteat Nation " that she is, the most giving, benevolent nation of people ever on the face of GOD'S PLANET EARTH. In reading this book you can see what Ameerica has been, where she is now, and what we will be if we don't get back to what made US great in the first place " A highly educated populace". To quote John F. Kennedy " Ask not what your country can do for you' ask what you can do for your country. we are becoming a nation with our hands out instead of a nation with a helping hand up. I think that since DR. Carson is running for president,that there should be a media flood of who he is,where he came from and what he has made of himself because of what America is. If you are willing to dream, read, study, and apply yourself to the best of your ability, God will be with you and bless you in the profession of your choosing if you seek to honor Him. MATTHEW 6:33 " But seek first His kingdom and His righteouness, and all these things will be given to you as well." this is not a promise of a " hand out " but a promise of a " hand up " if you seek a relationship with Him. God created us and wants us to be happy, joyful, lovin and giving people honoring Him in what ever walk of life we chose. Our vocation in life should be " Be A Christian".Our avocation in life should be doing what you enjoy doing in order to sustain you and your family and give back to the community in which you live. Great read, would recommend to all. Thanks , Ken Roe iRead full review
Every American Patriot should read his books. So easy to read and understand, he gets it. Every black white and yellow American should read his books. He has most of the answers that this country needs. Ben Carson is a modern-day communicator.

Common sense approach to the problems of our country. How he sees the problems that need to be dealt with. This man has no use for the feel sorry for yourself mentality this nation has embraced in the past several years. This book should be required reading in high school. Thank you Dr. Carson!!! This is a learning book!!!
The book I received is written in small print - not my preference. Very detailed of history so I read very slowly. Very interesting.
