3 cups of Tea

I finished Greg Mortensen's wonderful book Three Cups of Tea over the weekend. It is his story of building schools to educate Pakistan's poorest of the poor and fight terrorism beyond bombs and wars and ideologies. This book will be the Le Mars public Library's first book discussion scheduled for January 7. I am excited to hear everyone's thoughts on this book as it provides a view of Pakistan that is not seen on the news. It really made me think about how the U.S. government has responded to Muslim countries, and reacted to these people in general. I learned lots, and had my views challenged after reading this book. Bravo Greg Mortenson!
