Family Christian sent me the new Ben Carson book to review.  Prior to reading the book, I’d never heard of Ben Carson.  He is an accomplished surgeon, speaker, and writer.  In his book One Nation: What We Can All Do to Save America’s Future, Carson describes a new America.   He presented his message to an interesting audience: the President of the United States.  With a bold vision and down-home dialect, he challenges the nation to embrace hard work and tough love.   Much of the book reads like a sermon.  In fact, I rather expected to learn that Carson was a minister on the side or something of that nature.  He is clearly no stranger to hard work.  Growing up in extreme poverty, he was determined to find his way to a successful future.  He had the blessing of a wonderfully dedicated mother who insisted upon his best.  While I don’t agree with everything Carson stated in his book, I found the fervor with which he calls for change to be inspirational and motivational.

The exciting thing about this giveaway hop is that every mom needs something different to help her relax.  Some moms want a day at the spa while others want a stimulating idealistic book!   Which one applies to you?

Ready to enter? Pamper yourself (or some lucky mama!) with a $25 gift certificate to Family Christian. There you’ll find books, jewelry, gift items, and so much more. The giveaway is open to US readers ages 18+. Void where prohibited by law. Good luck!
