Carson shared his incredible story, all the while pointing to God and hard work for all his success. "If you can read, honey, you can learn just about anything you want to know. The doors of the world are open to people who can read" (p. 37) This was a quick and inspiring read, although it got a little tough at the end with some technical words and surgeries that were interesting but too much for me. (I don't like thinking about inside of bodies and brains, it grosses me out). Other than the surgical parts I thought it was beautifully written! Carson just reminds us we all have gifts, talents, and love from God. no reviews | add a review
