Book Reviews of Three Cups of Tea: One Man's Mission to Promote Peace . . . One School at a Time
Book Review: FROM A RASH PROMISE............................
Summary: 5 Stars
I never read fictional books as I prefer to know about 'true life' and this book has to be one of the most humbling and amazing books I've ever read.
From the rash promise Greg Mortenson made, grew a remarkable humanitarian campaign, in which he has dedicated his life to promote education, especially for girls, in remote regions of Pakistan and Afghanistan.
As of 2008, Mortenson has established over 78 schools in rural and often volatile regions of Pakistan and Afghanistan, which provide education to over 28,000 children, including 18,000 girls, where few education opportunities existed before and even more surprising is that these regions are often conversative Muslim.
He has forged formidable relationships with highly respected leaders in both Pakistan and Afghanistan and this just proves what a special man Mortenson must be.
He has inspired me to do what I can to help these regions not just because I believe education is fundamental to every society but, even more importantly, he believes that education is the only way to combat the Taliban and extremism - and he's right!
He's opened my eyes to the Muslim religion and different cultures in Pakistan and Afghanistan in a way that no television programme has ever achieved [or tried to achieve. To learn more visit: www.threecupsoftea.com
If you only read one more book in your life - make sure it's Three Cups of Tea and I promise, it will change your perspective completely.
Book Review: Heartwarming and Inspiring
Summary: 5 Stars
Three Cups of Tea is the story of how one man can make a difference, and should be a lesson for all of us to never give up thinking that we can make a difference. This is an excellent story about an extraordinary individual and an incredible village most of us have never heard of before. This is a must read for any outdoor enthusiast, humanitarian, and just about anyone who genuinely cares about the world and all those living in it.
For a great book of philosophy I recommend Understanding: Train of Thought.
