Publisher's summary

Mother Teresa: The Saint of Calcutta

Mother Teresa is one of the most celebrated figures from the last millennium. For more than 50 years, she did things that announced her to the entire world. A polite and humble figure, loved and criticized in equal measures, this audiobook celebrates the life of a little nun from Albania who taught the whole world a lesson.

This is what you will learn inside:

The audiobook is divided into four chapters, each dealing with a tenet that concerns the life of Mother Teresa of Calcutta. In 2015, the Catholic Church canonized her, thus elevating her to the highest point all Catholics want, that of a saint. This is despite the considerable criticism levelled against her.

The audiobook also looks at the challenges Teresa faced when she started a charity congregation with just five rupees and a sari. There are the lessons she taught the world through her anecdotes and sayings as well.

The audiobook takes a deep look at the criticism levelled against her, offers a profile of her critics and the response to the criticism. While the media will look at the sensational headlines about this topic, the book's approach is deep and puts the whole issue into perspective.

A Life of Love....

It is probably impossible to completely emulate Mother Teresa. She was so selfless in her interactions with the poorest of the poor. And yet by listening to this book you may be convinced to do something big or small to help the world.

Amazing women

To say that she lived a full life is an understatement. It's more like she lived several lives to the fullest. I found it inspiring and comforting that she, a most religious and blessed mother of so many..the poorest of the poor, had for so long experienced a faith crisis. A quite inspiring listening to it.

Mother Teresa: A Life of Love

I really enjoyed this book. It was easy listening and I did not know a lot of the facts about her life. It is well worth anyone's time to listen to this book. She was a remarkable person and I encourage everyone to read it.

beautiful book

There are a few books that could change the world if enough people listen to it them and this is one of them. I have rarely been so touched by a book and I found myself crying at times because the message in this book is so amazingly beautiful.

very inspiring

I respect and admire Mother Teresa in a higher level, but I knew very little about her. Good thing I started buying audio books since I'm not that of a reader and this inspired me a lot to act in love in whatever I do.

Best guide

I'velearned most of the biographies on her and consider this one the best by far. It is thorough, sensitive, with many details not found in others. More than well worth to listen
