About this ebook

Mother Teresa of Calcutta was the founder of the Missionaries ofCharity and winner of the Nobel Peace Prize, but her story is so much moreremarkable. From her childhood in the Balkans to her work in India, from attendingthe victims of war-torn Beirut to pleading with George Bush and Saddam Husseinto choose peace over war, Mother Teresa was driven by a mighty faith.

Newly revised and updated, this edition includes a personal insight into thebeatification and continuing process of canonization for Mother Teresa, theongoing work of the Missionaries of Charity, and her “dark night of the soul.”

Mother Teresa consistently claimed that she was simply responding to Christ’sboundless love for her and for all of humanity, bringing to the world a great lessonin joyful and selfless love. This book is a glimpse into her extraordinary faith,work, and life.

    A decent look at the life of one of the world's most cherished figures. Mother Teresa felt God's call on her life to serve the poor of Calcutta and, in turn, the world. This is the incredible story of the beginnings of her work and that of the Missionaries of Charity up to her death.I think the fact that this was a "completely authorized" biography hinders it. This had Mother Teresa's personal stamp of approval. As such, it does not go into the deep spiritual conflict which she felt, and is, therefore, not a complete picture of a much beloved nun. This may have been addressed in the revised and updated edition.Still, a good look for someone wanting to get familiar with the work of Mother Teresa.
