America the Beautiful

Rediscovering What Made This Nation Great

By: Ben Carson M.D.

Narrated by: Brandon Hirsch

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.

No

Any additional comments?

Ben Carson focuses hugely on personal accountability. If more of the US would think like he we would have a better nation.

America's finest citizen

Would you consider the audio edition of America the Beautiful to be better than the print version?

a wonderful book filled with hope for America!! Just common sense and getting back to what our founding fathers wanted for America! A must read!

Every American Should Read This Book!

What made the experience of listening to America the Beautiful the most enjoyable?

Dr. Carson has an amazing penchant for not only clearly stating problems facing the U.S., but also (refreshingly) offers simple and viable solutions to even the most complex.

What was one of the most memorable moments of America the Beautiful?

As an avid student (scholar) of history, Dr. Carson relays events that used to be included in our school books and emulated by those aspiring to greatness. The story of George Washington as relayed by the ancient Indian chief has long been a favorite of mine. It was heartening to 'see' it in a book again.

What does Dion Graham bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Dion Graham does a magnificent job! He brings the story alive through the voice of a great orator who is also a 'regular Joe'. It is as if Dr. Carson is speaking directly to the listener.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

This book made me PROUD once again, to be an American and reminded me that 'we the people' are ONE, and should remember to act accordingly. It puts the party system back into its proper perspective and illuminates key points on how it has become so polarized and what might be considered to help remedy the situation; eloquently done without pointing fingers or assigning blame!

Any additional comments?

I have already recommended this book to people of all political persuasions and social strata, and will continue to do so. It is must read!
