Thirst: A Story of Redemption, Compassion, and a… par Scott Harrison
This is one of the most important books I have ever read. After watching The Spring video on YouTube, and having it impact me to the point of tears, I made a note to read Scott's book, Thirst, one day. Not too long later, I received a copy from the author himself (evidence of his generous and kind nature). I read the book from cover to cover, it was very hard to put down at times, and i even found myself reading it to the baby. The story is so compelling, so deep, so raw, so exciting, so pure and so darn inspiring. Scott is everything i want to be. He is doing everything I want to do. He has the biggest dreams in the world (i.e., wanting to end the global water crisis single-handedly) and the greatest ambition to accomplish them all. He wants to give clean water to every human on the planet and i daresay he is the one who can do it. I don't keep many books, but i am going to keep this one for my kids to read and to see how one person can touch the lives of almost everyone on Earth. There is no one person quite like Scott Harrison. Definitely one of my top 10 favorite books.… (plus d'informations)

Syeu715 | 3 autres critiques | May 19, 2020 | I've studied enough science to know the severe health impacts of unclean, contaminated drinking water, and I thoroughly approve of clean water charities, so I picked this up from the library. Scott does a good job telling his story and that of charity: water. Because it sounded like something I might want to support, I looked charity: water up on Charity Navigator, and learned it scored 91/100 and had a perfect 100 when it came to transparency and accountability (doubtless because of things like "No Water for Our Birthday" and some of the other stories in the book). So I may have found a charity to support as well as a book I very much enjoyed.… (plus d'informations)

Jennifer708 | 3 autres critiques | Mar 21, 2020 | I like the important ideas conveyed in this book. The author describes himself as a storyteller. He does a good job.
I think the theme gets more interesting as the book progresses so do not get too bored at the first quarter if the book, where the author seems to be a different type person altogether. After all, it is a memoir of sort and his personality does change dramatically.
My daughter has spent a decade working at nonprofits. She was well aware of the success of this charity and its founder before I even heard of the book. It is an inspiring true and ongoing story.… (plus d'informations)
