Book Reviews of Three Cups of Tea: One Man's Mission to Promote Peace . . . One School at a Time
Book Review: Be Prepared To Expand Your List of Best Books
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of the best books I have ever read-and I have read many. The book is inspiring, humbling and causes the reader to examine his/her own contribution to humanity without being preachy. The story has been explained in numerous reviews so I will not do it again. But have two observations that have not been mentioned much: (1) Greg, especially at the beginning of his efforts, makes a number of mistakes which demonstrate how very human he is, but this should encourage each of us to recognize regardless of our own shortcomings with commitment great things can be achieved; and (2) Greg's dedication is incredible but so too is that of his wife and of all who have chosen to reject cynicism and to give of themselves to move CAI forward. The pen is mightier than the sword.
Book Review: You think one person can't make a difference???
Summary: 5 Stars
This is an unbelievable book! I kept thinking how insignificant I was in comparison to Greg Mortensen. This book should be on everyones TO READ list! Reads like fiction. You will not be disappointed.Book Review: One person can make a difference.
Summary: 5 Stars
this is an amazing, encouraging, awe inspiring story. We wept and cheered as we read it together. If even one in every thousand of us ordinary people tried as hard as Greg did to make the world a better place,what a wrold of good things we could do. With his simple, yet almost impossible ideas, he inspires us to try harder. this is a story everyone should know about.Book Review: Three Cups of Tea
Summary: 4 Stars
An excellent story of american Greg Mortenson's life mission to bring peace between the western amd eastern worlds through education. Although the text was sometimes difficult to follow as it often jumped from past to present tense, by and large it was very worthwhile and a must for those who wish to give of themselves. Book Review: If we had a hundred Greg Mortensons...
Summary: 5 Stars
we wouldn't need 100,000 soldiers. This book proposes a simple, obvious, economical and brilliant solution to a problem currently costing thousands of lives and billions of dollars every year. What a shame our President is not a "reader."
