Editorial Reviews:

The astonishing, uplifting story of a real-life Indiana Jones and his humanitarian campaign to use education to combat terrorism in the Taliban?s backyard

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.

5 out of 5 stars wow.

As an American, a woman, a mom and a teacher, I cannot say enough about the message in this book. May we as a nation learn a few lessons and be bearers of peace throughout the world. Please read and share with friends.

5 out of 5 stars Life Changing Book

I bought this for almost everyone on my Christmas list this year. It affected me greatly, and I think it should be required reading in High Schools!

5 out of 5 stars Mandatory reading for today's world

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!

4 out of 5 stars A review by Brandon Jones

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.

5 out of 5 stars Three Cups of Tea by Greg Morentson

This book was recommended by a retired school teacher...she couldn't say enough about the story. I strongly agree wirh her.
