Hi ladies! I just bought the book Three Cups of Tea the other day, and I haven't started it yet. Just wondering if anyone wants to read along with me. For those of you who haven't heard of it, it's the true story of how this mountaineer had failed to climb a peak, and while he was in these mountains in Pakistan, he came to know a small village of people. He promised them that he would build them a school. Then, in the next ten years, he built 55 schools in the mountainous area where the Taliban started. I've really wanted to read this for a while, and I was wondering if anyone else wanted to read it with me!
God's Blessings,

Megan,
Sounds like a great book - when do you plan to start?

Hi Judy! I was thinking maybe start posting on the 28th, so that gives us a week and a few days to start reading. Then we could post about the first few chapters.
