Mountains Beyond Mountains by Tracy Kidder (2004, Paperback, Reprint)

Read the book for a class on community nursing. Great read. True to Haiti. True to medicine. True to leadership.

The writing is good but the story is great. If you want to save the world, this is the story to motivate you. Paul Farmer is my god!!!!

I had to but this book for an assignment for seminary. I really enjoyed this book, not so much spiritual as it is about doing the real work of the gospel, not just praying and preaching. Dr. Paul Farmer is one incredible person along the lines of Mother Teresa. He is a true testament to the good in humanity. Read this book and you will be inspired to go and give of yourself for the poor and the oppressed.

This is a very well written story about a child from Middle America who decides to become a doctor. He does manage to go to Harvard but has the social conscience to help the needy. He picks Haiti. Paul Farmer convinces millionaires to give to his programs, convinces governments new ways to treat resistant TB (Peru, Russia) and convinces the government of Haiti to allow him to build a town with a school and a real clinic for the poorest people in North America. There also is the sobering truth of how we (USA) support corrupt politics in Haiti just to keep an ally and allow the abject poverty to continue. Most of all, it gives us the lesson of how much we all should give back to society, especially those that cannot help themselves.

The book is about Paul Farmer- a truly remarkable human being. His life is very inspiring. Kidder's skill as an author is obvious from the first page and helps make this one of my favorite nonfiction books.

I had to buy it for a class. I haven't read it because it turns out I don't need to. I am sure it is a really good read though.

Book recieved as was described. Great conditon, packaged better than major bookstores! Shipping time was great as well as the price. Would buy again.

I had to read this book for school, I began reading it with a open attitude but I found it pretentious and I didn't feel any campassion towards Paul Farmer.

it was quick and has been a good read. Very challenging and yet very opening to see how christ moves

this book at first to me wasn't going to be the eye catching but as i read and neared the end it turned out to be a very exciting book.

I haven't read the book yet but I will. It was selected by my book group and apparently well worth the read.

Considering I bought it from a store in Alaska, it came in very fast time. Great packaging was also part of the deal. Thanks!

I didnt even recieve my book and tried to send it through claims but got no responce. I ended reading the book that i borrowed from a friend but was very disapointed at the fact that I didnt even get the book.

I am a little biased because I absolutely LOVED Tracy Kidder's "Mountains Beyond Mountains," but the book itself came in fairly good condition and on-time as well. Absolutely no complaints.

Great quality and fast shipping. Overall great experience. It was exactly as the seller described it and on time also.

Heard that it is a very good book about Haiti. I had just been to Haiti on a short term missions trip.

I needed this prior to the start of the college semester. The product was delivered quickly and was as promised in good shape. Thanks

The book was slower to arrive but an email stating it was on the way was great assurance. It was pkged in a zip lock bag in great care. The book is still on the pile to read, however, I am anxiouly working through "time" to get to it soon. Thanks!
