Ben Carson Shares Dramatic Conversion Story, Reveals Why America Needs ‘God’s Healing Hands’ More Than Ever
Republican presidential hopeful Ben Carson recently shared his dramatic story of conversion and revealed why he believes America is in need of “God’s healing hands” more than ever before.
Speaking at LifePoint Assembly of God in Osceola, Iowa, on Sunday, Dr. Carson told the congregation that he grew extreme poverty in Detroit, Michigan, and was filled with anger and resentment, believing he would die at a young age. However, his life was completely changed after spending three hours locked in a bathroom one day, reading the book of Proverbs.
“When I came out, my temper was gone and I’ve never had a problem since,” The Des Moines Register quoted the retired neurosurgeon as saying.
In addition to Proverbs, Dr. Carson revealed that two other important books deeply influenced his life: Up from Slavery, an autobiography of Booker T. Washington, and the account of Joseph’s life in the Old Testament in the Bible.
“That really spoke volumes to my heart. Where you end up has a lot to do with the attitude you adopt in your life,” he told the congregation. (Read more from “Ben Carson Shares Dramatic Conversion Story, Reveals Why America Needs ‘God’s Healing Hands’ More Than Ever” HERE)
