I received a free copy of this book from Zondervan in exchange for my honest opinion.T H I N K B I G !
This is the message that Ben Carson is revealing in his “teen guide “book. What is he talking about with this acronym? He uses it to stand for: Talents, honesty, insight, nice, knowledge, books, in-depth learning and God. Personally, I think it is a great message for anyone!
Ben and his brother were raised by his mom. No one could have known that his father would leave them when Ben was young. His mother worked 2 jobs and even moved to try do what was best for her boys. By the time Ben was in 5th grade he faced academic deficiencies. Ben’s mom leaned on the Lord and prayed hard for guidance. The Lord provided her with the wisdom to set the boys on a path to a lifetime of learning. She instilled in them faith and drive. She instilled in them to use their God given brains. Sounds silly, doesn’t it? Being the mom to 4 little blessings, I have to say I have actually had to remind my kiddos to use theirs from time to time. I am sure that you have too.
This book is written so that it is an easy read mostly focusing on Ben’s life. Using examples of his life and how even though he faced hardships in his life, they didn’t define him. He became the neurosurgeon that God had planned for him. His faith guided him on his path to success despite the obstacles he faced. What a great inspirational, directional book for really anyone. I love the title as well as the book and would recommend it for anyone looking for inspiration or direction!
Thank you to Zondervan for the opportunity to review this book.
