I just found out about this book today from my supervisor. She went to hear the author, Greg Mortensen, speak and promote his book in San Francisco last night. His story is really inspiring. He has dedicated the most recent years of his life promoting education in Afghanistan and Pakistan while emphasizing the importance of educating women.
The subtitle of the book, One Man's Mission to Promote Peace . . . One School at a Time, sums up his vision and his new life mission. I can't wait to dig into this book.

Thanks for the reading tip! I think I'll enjoy this one.
ReplyDeleteI loved the book. It really inspired me to continue no matter what. Greg didn't give up and neither should anyone. If you really believe in something you will make it happen. The book has a little bit of everything in it and I recommend it to everyone. We can all make a difference even if it is a struggle. It's about the journey, not the destination and if do it that way then the destination eventually is that much sweeter when you eventually get there.
