Making Friends among the Taliban

A Goodreads "First Look" book.
Dan Terry's amazing life and tragic demise drove his dear friend, Jon Larson, to write this biography and it is a beautiful story of what must have been an incredible man to know. Terry crafted bridges and accomplished incredible things in his time in Afghanistan, striving to create peace. While Larson is not a gifted writer by any means, his admiration and affection for Terry is so strong and shines so brilliantly in this book that it more than makes up for his lack of writing prowess.

I am so sorry I took so long to journal~~between techs/opening Young Frankenstein, and my sweet kitties terminal illness, I just didn't get to it. Or much else. Now catching up....and very much looking forward to this one~~thanks so much!
Omg- i’m horribly late on all counts! It’s now been I’m sure a couple years at least since I read this book, and now I see that I didn’t journal then either. I am so sorry.
This was an amazing book. Not in the fantastic writing, as fire girl already mentioned, but in the life of this man, Dan Terry. These days, I am too often disgusted buy those professing to be “religious“. Terry, however, lived ( and died) his faith, and, to me, is the epitome of what Christianity is all about/should be.
After offering this in and leaving it in the nonfiction virtual book box for a couple of rounds where it wasn’t selected, I’m going to release it into a local little free library.
