America the Beautiful
What is America becoming? Or, more importantly, what can she be if we reclaim a vision for the things that made her great in the first place? In America the Beautiful, Dr. Ben Carson helps us learn from our past in order to chart a better course for our future. From his personal ascent from inner-city poverty to international medical and humanitarian acclaim, Carson shares experiential insights that help us understand: ... what is good about America ... where we have gone astray ... which fundamental beliefs have guided America from her founding into preeminence among nations Written by a man who has experienced America's best and worst firsthand, America the Beautiful is at once alarming, convicting, and inspiring. You'll gain new perspectives on our nation's origins, our Judeo-Christian heritage, our educational system, capitalism versus socialism, our moral fabric, healthcare, and much more. An incisive manifesto of the values that shaped America's past and must shape her future, America the Beautiful calls us all to use our God-given talents to improve our lives, our communities, our nation, and our world.

Review byAlice
I enjoyed this book. Ben Carson has went from poverty to riches and as well as being the director of Pediatric Neurosurgery AT John Hopkins Hospital, he is on a number of corporate boards. He has a good idea of where our country has been and can go. I agree with him that we need to make some changes.We have a lot of christians in this country that are complacent.We expect some one else to do something about our problems. We need to complain to our elected representatives when we go not agree with their decisions. Dr. Carson says that we need to bring God back in our schools.I agree. He was asked to speak at a public school where there had been a mass murder. He was told by the school ad ministration do not speak about your belief in God. But he did and got a standing ovation. WE need to pray for God's guidance in every facet of our life, so that we can be the people God wants us to be.
