3 Cups of Tea

Thanks for a good time of discussion and fun last night! A few themes we explored from Greg Mortenson's "Three Cups of Tea"
...complexity of the issues involved in education, terrorism, aid to developing countries, personal sacrifice, and family responsibilities
...importance of doing something for a cause outside yourself, whether big or small
...similarities and differences between Mortenson and Christian missionaries
...value of seeing a bigger world than just suburban Denver or even the USA
...mixed responses to Mortenson's character, decisions, personality, and philosophies
Lots of other things, too, those are just the first that come to mind! Hope you can join us in March!

Three Cups of Tea

As promised in the evite, here is some information about our upcoming book:

http://www.threecupsoftea.com/ The main website promoting the book. There are teen and children's versions of the story too. I'm going to see if the library has the kid's one (good for those of you who need just 32 pages and pictures!)

http://www.threecupsoftea.com/wp-includes/documents/3CTReadingGuide.pdf A reading group guide that will probably provide the basis for many of our discussion questions.
