In 1987, Dr. Benjamin Carson gained worldwide recognition for his part in the first successful separation of Siamese twins joined at the back of the head. Carson pioneered again in a rare procedure known as a hemispherectomy, giving children without hope a second chance at life through a daring operation in which he literally removes one half of their brain. Such breakthroughs aren t unusual for Ben Carson. He s been beating the odds since he was a child. Raised in inner-city Detroit by a mother with a third grade education, Ben lacked motivation. He had terrible grades. And a pathological temper threatened to put him in jail. But Sonya Carson convinced her son he could make something of his life, even though everything around him said otherwise. Trust in God, a relentless belief in his own capabilities, and sheer determination catapulted Ben from failing grades to the directorship of pediatric neurosurgery at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, Maryland. Gifted Hands takes 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."

From the author of "90 Minutes In Heaven" comes a new daily devotional for readers who want to experience the joy and contentment of his message every day.

Ben Carson shares the story of how he transformed himself from the dumbest student in his fifth grade class into a Yale graduate and pediatric neurosurgeon, and tells of some of the people who inspired him to achieve in his studies and in life.

Examines the life and career of the famous neurosurgeon.

As he is driving home from a minister's conference, Baptist minister Don Piper collides with a semi-truck that crosses into his lane. He is pronounced dead at the scene. For the next 90 minutes, Piper experiences heaven where he is greeted by those who had influenced him spiritually. He hears beautiful music and feels true peace. Back on earth, a passing minister who had also been at the conference is led to pray for Don even though he knows the man is dead. Piper miraculously comes back to life and the bliss of heaven is replaced by a long and painful recovery. For years Piper kept his heavenly experience to himself. Finally, however, friends and family convinced him to share his remarkable story.

Ein kurzer Moment kann alles verändern: Ein geliebter Mensch stirbt, man verliert seine Arbeitsstelle oder man wird plötzlich schwerkrank. Auch Don Piper hat in seinem Leben einen solchen Moment erlebt. Er wurde bei einem schweren Autounfall so schwer verletzt, dass er für 90 Minuten klinisch tot war. In diesen Minuten durfte er die Herrlichkeit des Himmel erleben. Als er wieder ins Leben zurückkehrte, war alles anders. Bis heute leidet Don Piper unter den Folgen dieses Unfalls, und er hätte allen Grund, sich nach seinem alten Leben zurückzusehnen. Doch er hat gelernt, seine „neue Normalität“, wie er seine heutige Lebenssituation beschreibt, anzunehmen. Er sagt: „Ich kann über diese neue Normalität schreiben, weil ich mit absoluter Gewissheit weiß, dass es einen Himmel gibt.“ Don Piper möchte auch Sie ermutigen, Ihre Blickrichtung zu ändern. Schauen Sie nicht mehr auf das, was hinter Ihnen liegt, sondern vielmehr auf das, was vor Ihnen liegt. Machen Sie das Beste aus dem Hier und Jetzt.
