Three Cups Of Tea: One Man’s Mission To Promote Peace Review

Anyone new to Greg and his work like I was about 2 days back, should definitely read this. A gripping book from the start to the end. I read it all in one and a half day.

I belong to the Indian Subcontinent and fortunately from the Indian side thus I have witnessed the scenes of poverty and lived away from it. Greg and his noble work really touches the root cause of the issue. He is seeking the real long term solution which should be implemented across the world. His approach of not only education but addressing sanitatory, medical and vocational needs really touches an individual. My personal belief is that humans everywhere thrive to be better in conditions and there are so less people/circumstances which show them that better way of life. All politicians/leaders from the subcontinent have always just used the poverty to live better and win elections/support. Greg’s marvelous work is beyond doubt touching many lives and uplifting them to a stage which they never could have imagined ever. I really relished the strength education provided to a a muslim girl in a remote village to demand for her higher education.

Being an Indian and observing lot of growth in recent years, I always wondered why Pakistan with similar set of people is not making that progress in leaps and bounds. This book provides the answer. I literally never knew the state of pakistan as Greg and his co-author have described, with everything in disarray. I wonder if I am unable to corelate living just next door, how will anyone else in the world assess what pakistan is based on media reports. I really appreciate the fact that the book is a mandatory reading for many US army folks, hope it is also made mandatory for policy and strategy makers!

From a pure literary perspective, the initial part of the book is a bit slow and overall narrative could have been better. But as the plot thickens, you dont see the written word but the images it conjures. I dont consider myself a particularly emotional person but this book did leave me with an intense desire to be a part or do something to eradicate poverty/illiteracy.

The best part in the book I liked is that it has no pretensions. Maybe thats how Greg is, he looks at most fierce and hardcore islamists and talks to them openly stating his mission. Thats what I truly aprpeciate in the whole mission, that it is uplifting the society without a so-called hidden agenda! My first such a detailed review because I was driven to write it! People who think world can be a better place should read this book. Skeptics, you definitely should read it for changing your point of view!!
