Well worth the Read!

This is the unlikely story of one man's determination to change the world. Greg Mortenson was wandering through life without direction or purpose until he got lost after a failing to summit one of the world's highest peaks. In getting lost, he found himself and his passion - to bring education to a people that most in the world never even knew existed. His story of hardship, failed attempts at rasing money, dogged perseaverence and finally success should be an inspiration to us all. It is possible to for one person with a dream change the world! All it takes is commitment, heart and not accepting the "impossible" can't be done.

Reading this book is well worth everyone's time. The purchase helps to support a very worthy cause, but more importantly it might just motivate the reader to find a way to change the world themselves.

An amazing story of hope and outreach

I borrowed Three Cups of Tea the first time I read it. Then I ordered 4 copies and gave each of them away to share this great news story. I just purchased 4 more copies and I hope to keep one for myself. I've heard author Greg Mortenson speak and he is authentic, humble and inspiring in his quiet determined way. The book is difficult to put down until it's finished, very readable. Gives a great description of a poverty stricken land plagued by foreign occupation, fighting tribes and ideologies yet peopled by folks with strong cultural values and great determination and generosity. Extremely current! Every teacher should read it!

Three Cups of Tea

Fantastic Book! We used this for our monthly book club meeting and everyone was very moved by it. I have since told many people about it. A message we all need to hear...

The Better Side of Humanity

This book was recommended to me and I wasn't disappointed. Though I am primarily a lover of fiction, this book inspired me and reminded me that there are always obstacles and those obstacles are meant to be overcome. It's a practice of continually spiraling through the process of action and re-evaluation and, eventually, that persistence and determination will bear fruit.

The book begins with the hospitality and generosity of the people in small, impoverished Korphe, Pakistan to an outsider in need of aid and spans 911, the invasion of Afghanistan and then Iraq. Riddled throughout we see the disparate trails of understanding and intolerance weave their paths through the lives on all sides of the battlefield without discrimination. What stands out is the power of education. Not only in the sense of the traditional litany of math, language and history, but in striving to understand basic human and cultural divides and working together to overcome them.

To wrap this around to our current political situation, this `war on terror', as the hypnotic buzz-term goes, has only created more hatred and contempt for America - and not only in the Middle East. It's good to find these buoys that bear a message of tolerance and peace and a measure of sanity during this circus of carnage and current of aggression.

I'll definitely be passing this book along.
