This book tells about the joys and struggles of Mother Teresa. It tells about her childhood, how she announced she wanted to be a nun, and about the children of India. She sets up a hospital for injured people, visits lepars and more. This book tells of how Mother Teresa lived, and what she sacrificed. This book is awesome and I recommend it to anyone.
"Mother Theresa of Calcutta" is one of my favorite biographies written for children, but adults will appreciate it as well. Jeanene Watson brings great insight into the life of one of the most loving women that ever walked on this earth. It is not only written to describe the many things Mother Teresa did for the people of India, but it also describes in vivid detail, Mother Teresa's great love for Jesus. She not only loved Him, she knew she was deeply loved by Him. She lived and breathed Jesus' love, and this book makes it all come to life. I found myself tearing up during several passages just realizing how great our God is and how great His love for us is. And I cried at the end, glorifying our great God through the life of this beautiful woman. This book is a must buy!
What an inspirational woman! This book, though written simply for children & early teens, conveyed the truth of Mother Teresa's life. She worked for God alone and trusted in Him with all her heart. Her humor and tenacity came through so clearly. This book was a delight to read.
