Not so much biography as an account of Mother Teresa's impact on Muggeridge's life. Of course, the work that she did is recounted, but what comes through more than that is his understanding of faith and God's love. Though, I am not sure, at least at the time of writing, that his understanding of faith is complete. He is impressed and awed but not convinced that her way—through the RCC—is the way for him. (

This is a personal and intimate account of the life of Mother Teresa, written with humor and understanding.

Interesting, though reading about Mother Teresa makes you feel like a terrible person. (
