For anyone that cares about children; ours and the world's....
This is the first review I have ever written on Amazon; though I am a voracious reader and have many books that I love, this is the first that has inspired me to such a degree. Three Cups of Tea was a remarkable book....though the beginning was slow for me, with the technical aspects of climbing, the book as a whole was a gift and should be read far and wide. With small children myself, I am extremely interested in education and the impact it can have on a child's life. Greg Mortensen's commitment to bringing education to children that are so very deserving motivates me to do more for not just my children and our community, but for those of communities in far and distant lands. If the stories herein of helping someone else's child do not move you (which I would be surprised if they did not), think about how Mortensen's work may very well make the world a safer and better place for your own children. READ THIS BOOK and let's all support Mortensen and his family in their tireless and selfless commitment to education.
Obedience to your Heart Song
Above all this inspirational story tells of one mans obedience to his HeartSong;- the unique path one must travel to allow ones heart to sing fully and freely and follow wherever it may take you. Paulo Coelho described it as one's 'Personal Legend.'
This is the story of Greg Mortenson's amazing journey to build schools in remote areas of Pakistan and Afghanistan.
Also have to admire the courageous and generous spirit of Greg's wife, Tara Bishop, whose Heart Song may also be heard loud and clear in this remarkable story. Extraordinary!!!!
Loved this book and strongly recommend it, especially as I am a teacher and also believe education is the best way to promote peace in this world and acknowledge that we are all brothers and sisters in this big human family.
Three Cups of Tea
A great story and a must read for most anyone desiring a closer look at this part of our world, its people and their lives, and particularly the education system. It puts things in such a remarkable perspective compared to what we as Americans have and often under appreciate, but this is not a sermon, it is the heroic journey of a man who gave up almost everything along the way to break down barriers for women and kids.
Three Cups of Tea
I found this book inspiring. To think that one man, with a kind heart and a dream could accomplish so much is almost unbelievable. I couldn't put the book down. Greg Mortenson is a true American Hero.
