The other two were much better. When Dr. Carson talks about our culture, I respect his opinion. When he talks about our history, basically it is accurate. When he talks about his past, it is wild and I understand. Never doubt any psycho story someone from Detroit tells you. Trust me, I'm from The Ruins. Now when he talks about the Constitution, or maybe just because this was written for his election effort. I am sensing a certain missing honesty. I really do feel like he tried to do the political thing in this book and write it in a way that would not ruffle any feathers. Oh, I know that libs will attack him and me no matter what. You "people" haven't read his previous works. He never pulled any punches, agree or disagree with him. He just seems out of his element in this book or maybe because it was rushed to get it to publication before the campaign? There are many solid parts of the book and other parts that seemed ad lib.Would I suggest this book? I am not sure, the political season (and maybe the country) is nearly over. I would not suggest this as your first Dr. Caron book, but if you like most of his other books. You will probably enjoy this one.
In this book entitled, "A More Perfect Union" The Republican Presidential Candidate Ben Carson expounds on the US Constitution. This is an inspiring book to understand and defend our Constitution. Written in plain and easy to understand English, the presidential candidate explains the basic teachings of the American Constitution and what it stands for, and how they inspired the founding fathers. He elaborates on the freedom guaranteed to us, and how we can protect and defend our rights, and the American way of living. He explains the current events and controversial issues facing the nation. He stresses that it is important for Americans to defend the Bill of Rights, which guarantees our freedom to speech, right to bear arms, practice our religion, and much more. Carson is one of the few candidates who understands the dangers of Islam and explains how it is incompatible with the Constitution that upholds a democratic society. The teachings of Islam contrasts the very principles that upholds the Western civilization. Ben Carson is a 2016 Republican Party candidate for President of the United States and a retired Johns Hopkins Medical School Neurosurgeon. After delivering a widely publicized speech at the 2013 National Prayer Breakfast meeting, he became a popular conservative figure in political media for his views on social and political issues. A More Perfect Union" is one of at least seven books from Ben Carson that have become bestsellers. Strongly recommended to all conservative readers who like to uphold the constitution, and the supporters of Ben Carson.
I have been reading my way through Ben Carson's books. What a thoughtful and insightful man. I don't agree with everything he says, but I believe his books show how he can be a healing factor for this country.
I love Dr. Ben Carson! He's a man who is too wise, kind and respectful! He knows how to speak with eloquence, and yet, get his strong points across with a smile. He reminds me of Solomon in scripture, with the exception of many wives. He would have been a great president if he had run 16 years ago. Many people of America are too far gone and they're looking to be entertained with drama! Political correctness has robbed the minds of Americans,especially the millennial group, and is now holding them prisoner of their ignorance... If they don't wake up they will feel the harsh sting of communism!
A More Perfect Union is an analysis and explanation of the both the Constitution and the Bill of Rights of the United States. Doctor Carson provides information and background on the writing of the Constitution, the legislative branch, the executive branch, the judicial branch, each article of the Constitution, each amendment of the Bill of Rights, and additional amendments to the Constitution. The purpose of the author is to inform Americans about these significant foundational documents. The dangers of political correctness (a threat to freedom of speech) and being an informed American are the major themes of the book. Doctor Carson also emphasizes that the biggest threat to freedom in America is a lack of knowledge about the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. As an American history and government teacher I found this book to be both informative and highly readable. I plan on keeping it as a reference tool on my book shelf in my classroom.
Great insight from a "Washington Outsider" who is concerned about doing what is right for the people, based on information from the people, not about doing what is politically correct or what is best for Washington politicians or lobbyists. Dr. Carson is not a blowhard, but a quiet, thoughtful man, who isn't concerned with gaining power; his love for his country comes through as he discusses what "We, the People" can do together; rather than what Washington can do to make the people more dependent on the government. He is not afraid to speak the truth and isn't afraid to use his life an as example of how people can succeed...with hard work and determination! Compelling book!
