How could anyone possibly sum up all Mother Teresa did in her lifetime into a childrenâs book? Well, Mary Kathleen Glavich, SND did just that in Blessed Teresa of Calcutta: Missionary of Charity - another well-written book in the Encounter the Saints Series by Pauline Press. The book brings to life the life of a well-known modern saint-to-be.Young Agnesâ parents greatly influence her by their loving compassion for others; their example leaves a lasting impression on her. She feels God calling her to be a sister, as well as, a missionary. This biography follows each stage of Mother Teresa eventful life in amazing detail. The reader follows her as she leaves home and spends just two short months at an abbey in Ireland before setting sail for India. Here she teaches at a school near the slums that later would become her lifeâs work. Although she was a wonderful teacher and visited the poor often, she knew she was called to do more. âGod meant her to serve the poorest of the poorâ. She is again called - this time to start a new religious order whose sisters would actually live with the poor. The story continues, telling of the many numerous events of this little nunâs journey through life. Her good works were numerous. Her strength was extraordinary. Her love was immeasurable. This book shows it all.Both my daughter and I learned so much about this courageous woman in this simply-written and detail packed book for young readers. It is a wonderful and inspirational biography of a woman who saw God in everyone and willingly served God through them with love.You can see more of my Catholic book reviews, author interviews and weekly giveaways at my Patheos site [...]
JMJ12 Year old:"Blessed Teresa had a wonderful and saintly life. She was very, very charitable. I recommend this to everyone young and old."10 Year old:"A good book. It was easy to read and understand. I like that she helped the sick. I recommend it for everybody."
I bought this book last year to use in a religion class with 5th graders. Several kids read it, and enjoyed it. It is not an "easy book", but at the same time it is not "a difficult book." In other words, it makes great reading because the style is clear, and uses vocabulary appropriate to the age level mentioned in the review title.Highly recommend. A great introduction for children whom, even today, do not know anything about this special woman! Surprising, since it wasn't that long ago. A great woman of faith, forgotten already?If you're a teacher, or simply a parent who is searching for a good role model, buy this book. Show your children what being a hero really means!Aida L.

my daughter received this as a christmas gift. it was really well written. she gained a lot of insight into the simplicity of mother teresa's mission. she helped everyone in her path, even if it was just with a smile. what a beautiful woman doing what God called her to do!
I loved this book so much that I keep reading and rereading it. It's very detailed. It's like being with Mother Teresa through every step of her journey. I was completely taken back by the poverty and poor in all of the places Mother Teresa went. I would highly recommend this book!
I bought this for my 6th grade religion class for my lending library. I hope the kids get something out of reading it
The book was in great shape! Thanks.
My daughter love it
