NEW! Three Cups of Tea: One Man's Mission to Promote Peace . . . One School at a Time with Free shipping
Effect:::
Anyone who despairs of the individual’s power to change lives has to read the story of Greg Mortenson, a homeless mountaineer who, following a 1993 climb of Pakistan’s treacherous K2, was inspired by a chance encounter with impoverished mountain villagers and promised to build them a school. Over the next decade he built fifty-five schools—especially for girls—that offer a balanced education in one of the most isolated and dangerous regions on earth. As it chronicles Mortenson’s quest, which has brought him into conflict with both enraged Islamists and uncomprehending Americans, Three Cups of Tea combines adventure with a celebration of the humanitarian spirit.User friendly.

Customer Reviews
PROS:
- Touching, inspiring story.
- The amazing reviews say it all.
CONS:
- Hard to live up to the hype. The stellar reviews set super high expectations that are hard (impossible?) to achieve. That's not the book's fault, just the reader's fault.
- Long winded sentences are hard to follow. They forced me to re-read sentences because it wasn't clear at first. It was easier to follow if you just read fast and not analyze every word.
CONCLUSION: The message that we can do more good by doing good acts than by dropping bombs is profound. Give this man the Nobel Peace Prize!
