This is a book that every professing Christian needs to take the time to read and see what Christ truly meant when He stated the two greatest commandments; "You shall love the Lord your GOD with all your heart, soul, mind and strength. And the second is like the first; you shall love your neighbor as yourself." In this age of self love, self gratification, self esteem, me first, this command is pretty much lost from any teaching from pulpits. Yet, the success bestowed upon the efforts of Mother Teresa is shown to be totally based upon the practice and living of these commandments in her life. Her young life experiences and examples from her parents was not lost upon young Agnes who dreamed of serving God in somehow serving her neighbors, "her people", no matter who, no matter where, all the while ministering the love of God as and example of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Everyone who reads MOTHER TERESA - A Life Inspired, should be moved by what they learn of her example that in touching the lives of all of her neighbors she was doing it also unto the Lord Jesus Christ, just as He said, just as we also should do. Read, be challenged, be encouraged and do!
it was wonderful and interesting to learn so much of the background of Mother Teresa and how much her mother influenced her. I believe God raises up certain people for certain reasons and at certain times but, everyone does not respond to God's call. God prepared her for His calling and she responded and look how many people were blessed------also a good lesson for all of us.
I did not know the course of Mother Teresa's life before reading this book. It was particularly interesting to read how she was so influenced by her parents all her life. I rated this four stars only because after reading this, I picked up "The Life and Prayers of Mother Teresa, which fills in additional information not included in "Mother Teresa, a Life Inspired." I think it would be wonderful to read a collection of the journals and writings of Mother Teresa during her lifetime. These writings were referred to, but to actually read her feelings and struggles and insights during her lifetime might help many people. It is worth reading these two books to get a good picture of Mother Teresa's outlook on the meaning of life.
Thank you for writing this book, it gives a greater and deeper appreciation of the life of Mother Teresa. I have read a good number of books about Mother Teresa and thought there was nothing else new to learn about her. You sure proved me wrong, you brought to the fore front a great deal of new information about her for which I am grateful. I have always loved Mother Teresa but this book brought many new reasons to love her even more. Can you imagine if our world would treat each other as she treated everyone!!! I endorse this book and hope many others will take the time to read it and gain a deeper knowledge of what a great contribution Mother Teresa gave to the world in carrying out the mission that God gave to her. I am saddened that she has not been declared a Saint of the Church yet. God Bless all who read this book. Richard
Wow, I continued to be amazed by the amount of information that comes out of these books by Wyatt North. I have read a bunch about Blessed Mother Teresa and I guess much of it had to do with her spirituality and her work in India. This, little easily read in a day, book is not only a biography of Mother Teresa, but a short informative history of the communities she founded. She brought countries together, she converted atheist, and brought peace just about everywhere she went, plus helping the poorest of the poor throughout the world.The world could use a few more Mother Teresa's right now.
I was young when Mother Teresa died, so while I remember her as a great agent of peace, I don't remember a whole lot of specifics. I thought this short biography would be a great way to catch up my reading challenge and see a positive example of Christianity in action. Which Mother Teresa herself certainly provides.However, the book itself falls shorts. It's *extremely* repetitive. I nearly DNF a book with less than 150 pgs because that was so annoying. It might have even been 60-75 pages without the repetition. As other reviewers have mentioned, it reads much like a high school report. The book hits a few highlights of her childhood and career, glossing over who she really was in favor of speculation about how she must have been feeling or what she must have thought when she saw -whatever-. The author repeatedly mentions her fifty years' worth of diaries and shares only one excerpt.I learned the same things from her wiki page afterward as from this book, and with much less time invested. While I did learn several things that I never originally knew, this book really only made me want to read other books about Mother Teresa – or better yet, her published diaries. I'd really hoped for more. I'm going to give it two stars because it was somewhat educational, but 2 stars is probably generous after a glance through the wiki.
Thank you for sharing this story of Mother Teresa. Although I've read much about her life and work previously, I now have an even deeper appreciation of the faith and commitment she lived out in following the command of Jesus Christ to care for our neighbors, especially the poor. What a powerful story of how one person filled with the Holy Spirit, while totally relying upon faith in her Heavenly Father's guidance can change the world! This book has enriched my faith, and to serve my Lord more completely!
