Mandatory reading for today's world December 1, 2008 Three Cups of Tea is a must read for individuals interested in issues surrounding the modern world's quest for peace while accepting ethnic and religious differences. In the end, hopefully, peace will come upon us, embracing the entire world for in this book the reader will find there is more common amongst us than different. It is my hope that terrorism will tire and eventually fade for the sheer fact that it does not serve humanity, or any nation, any good in the long run.
Three Cups of Tea also serves to remind us that G-d's love takes form in many ways and the final result begins with the first; the love of family, self and respect towards others.
This book should not be missed. It also shines towards making education a natural resource for everyone instead of the privileged or elite. Education is pivotal for inviting people to contribute to their communities in a meaningful and inspiring manner. It is the diving board for evolution which many 'villages' here in the USA take for granted. We may learn from Three Cups of Tea many important lessons towards spiritual fulfillment by Greg's simple act of living in the moment!
A review by Brandon Jones December 1, 2008 The story is very good. It was a little hard to get into because it is not something that is of particular interest to me. I think it is wonderful that he wanted to help those children but I personally believe that we should help the children of the U.S. first. I am sure that there are places in the U.S. that would benefit from help like this.

I noticed this book at the local Junior College bookstore while looking for a textbook. It intrigued me enough to buy it and read it. This story is amazing and the book is well written. I was so inspired I bought it for each of my 3 grown children and have mentioned it to others. I visited the website and donated money to build more schools. You should too!

An incredibly inspirational book. Greg Mortenson has been working incredibly hard in one of the world's most desolate and ignored areas of the world. This is his story and will give you a glimpse into the importance of being the change you would like to see.
