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, show more 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.

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.
