I really enjoy Dr. John Byron's posts because they afford me the opportunity to read engaging articles from various sources without having to be the one to discover them. So thanks, Dr. Byron, for finding some "gems" for me to enjoy without the effort of mining them myself!

Three Cups of Tea
Three Cups of Tea One Man's Mission to Promote Peace . . . One School at a Time
If you're searching for an uplifting and riveting story, check out Three Cups of Tea. This biographical account of one courageous mountain climber focuses on his quest to bring education to impoverished communities in the remotest areas of Pakistan. Mountaineer Greg Mortenson's promise and outcome to build a school in the Karakoraam Mountains of Pakistan is expertly chronicled by David Oliver Relin. Eventually fifty-five schools were built due to the perseverance of Mortenson fueled by a great compassion for humanity.
I'd love to hear what books you are reading that have captured your interest as well.
