Wine to Water - TLC Book Tour

Wine to Water is my second book tour with TLC Book Tours and I've very appreciative to read another great book for them.

Now on to the book:

Book Back Cover Blurb:

Doc Hendley never set out to be a hero.  In 2004, Hendley, a small-town bartender, held wine-tasting events to raise awareness and funds for clean-water projects around the world.  He had planned to donate the proceeds through traditional channels, but instead found himself traveling to one of the world's most dangerous areas: Darfur, Sudan.  There, Doc witnessed a government-sponsored genocide where the number-one weapon was water, not bullets....Today, Doc and Wine to Water continue to help repair and maintain water-containment systems in places like Darfur, Cambodia, Uganda, and Haiti.

My Thoughts:

Doc writes in a very easy-to-read style, like he is talking directly to each reader.  I enjoyed his story thoroughly.  He is amazing.  His background does not give to fundraising and aid work but he had a calling, an urgent need to do something to help.  Hence, the formation of Wine to Water.  Doc used his calling to set up fundraising events and then go to Darfur for a year to fix and dig wells.  His continued devotion, to a project that most people in first-world countries would find extremely difficult or bothersome, is awe-inspiring.  Read his story.  You will like it.
