Book excerpt: 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.

Download or read book A Beanie and a Cup of Tea written by Larry A. Dunn and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2021-12-29 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The soul-searching poems in Larry Dunn’s debut collection, A Beanie and A Cup of Tea, invite readers into a deeply personal journey that explores the mystery of life and death, the beauty of words as gift, and the power of sustaining love not fully known before the loss of his son, Seth. Both introspective and transparent, Dunn writes with an unflinching style about the realities of unimaginable loss, his willingness to embrace the unknowable, and his renewed commitment to cherish life and those he loves. In an honest portrayal of what it means to sit with the pain of loss, Dunn searches for ways to stay connected to his son within the “thin spaces” of these poems, “where mystery is / cloaked in beauty / and the line between / heaven and earth / collapses into love.” A Beanie and A Cup of Tea invites the reader into these spaces, extending a knowing embrace and giving voice to those whose lives are shaped by grief.
