Book Reviews of Three Cups of Tea: One Man's Mission to Fight Terrorism and Build Nations One School at a Time
Book Review: Read the book & then DO something
Summary: 4 Stars
This may not be great literature but it is a great story. At a time in our national history when we have been fed a decade-long or so load of cynicism, suspicion, and hate from our elected officials and the media jackals who supported them, it is refreshing to hear of an individual who engaged in positive action. Mortenson makes lots of mistakes and his wife must be a saint to live with (and support) his life choices but the man does accomplish an incredible feat that grows out of love and concern for his fellow man. Clearly if one sees others as people first and people who live and believe differently than we so secondly then much of the world's conflict could be lessened.
Read this book (don't worry about the less than perfect writing) and then get up do something positive to make this world we live in a better place. What we do doesn't have to be as far away as Mortenson traveled but it does need to be positive. Next time we hear the hate and suspicion spewing from the radio or TV just turn it off (that's real power!) and pick up a book. Learning more about Islam is a good thing. It is also a good thing that folks in the Pakistan and Afghanistan learn more about us in a more balanced way as well. Education is a strong and long lasting weapon against bigotry.
I am buying another copy of Three Cups of Tea for a friend of mine and have passed my copy on to members of my family. It is a good gift and well worth the cost.
