THE BIG PICTURE
Carson, Ben, with Gregg Lewis
Zondervan, 1999
271 pages

In three sections Carson (1) tells the story of the second and third head-separation surgeries he performed on African Siamese twins, (2) calls for goal-oriented preparation of youth and adults for school and parenting, and (3) offers his perspective on the issues of education, health care and racial prejudice. “Education can turn dreams to reality,” says Carson, who has become a role model to African American youth. Carson’s hopeful, faith-based perspective includes, in two separate chapters, “Seeing Hardship as Advantage” and “Moving Beyond a Victim Mentality.” Also available in audiocassette.

""You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. 16In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven.""

Matthew 5:14-16 (NIV)
