"In One Nation, the man who made headlines for his 2013 National
Prayer Breakfast speech hopes to unite the country under common
principles." - The Christian Post
“In light of the economic stagnation, swelling debt, out-of-control
bureaucracy, and moral decline facing America today, Dr. Ben
Carson’s One Nation is about the most optimistic book you will find
at your local bookstore. Brimming with confidence about America’s
ability to come to a consensus on such issues as debt, welfare, and
gay marriage, Carson provides a hopeful, if idealistic, look at the
problems plaguing society today, along with a set of solutions.” –
The Blaze
“One thing not in doubt is Carson’s conservatism. He’s the real
deal, an economic, social, and foreign policy conservative. – The
Weekly Standard
“Highlighting the causes of disunity and decline in the nation,
Carson takes aim at political correctness and its impact on curbing
honest speech on critical issues.... Carson intersperses his own
inspirational life story and biblical passages as he argues for the
essential role of faith in addressing the myriad complex issues
facing the nation.” – Booklist
"No matter what you think of Dr. Carson, if you want to know more
about a man you’ll be hearing a lot from in the next few years,
it’s worth reading One Nation." - The Root
“His groundbreaking contributions to medicine and his inspiring
efforts to help America’s youth fulfill their potential have
strengthened our Nation.”—Presidential Medal of Freedom, 2008
