Three Cups of Tea
I am an avid reader but not normally of non-fiction. I had heard about this book and had put off reading it. I am not sure exactly why I finally decided to read it but I am so glad I did. It has really opened my eyes to some of the things that are happening in today's world. More than that, it shows what one person can accomplish with desire and dedication. I must admit that it reads like a novel, meaning I couldn't put it down, and in some way has changed my life. It brings to light what is behind the scenes of Islam, the Taliban and the ways of the people in those places such as Pakistan and Afghanistan. I would recommend it to anyone who like to read and has a conscience. I read it first and then I purchased it and may purchase more to give as gifts. I believe that speaks for its integrity and its passion.

God's Trombones
2 of 2 found this helpful I was so excited to find this lost treasure. I first knew the poem "The Creation" which is included in this book. For many years I tried to find a copy. Just recently I learned that it was part of this collection. To my delight, all of the poems are excellent. The author is an "old time religion", black preacher. The poems are straight to the point and give a wonderful view of some familiar Christian Bible stories. It's definitely a treat to read these. As a lay pastor, I know that I will be using some of these works in my future sermons. Anyone who is interested in Bible study or devotions would benefit from this text. Actually, anyone would benefit from this text. Read it and get a new outlook.
