The collection of quotes, stories, and prayers in this book are all her own words and experiences. They were compiled from various sources. Her undying faith and concern of the human spirit is reflected in these passages. In her years of work, Mother Teresa has brought God to millions in places of darkness. Let her share her hope, faith, and love with you.Though Mother Teresa’s words may be spare, her good deeds are abundant. The messages in this lovely collection–directed at coworkers, sisters, and others eager to hear the words of someone who lived the challenge she presented to others–are sure to provide inspiration for anyone who reads them. The quotes, stories, and prayers are a testament to the 1979 Nobel Peace Prize winner’s generosity and strength of spirit: “Good works are links that form a chain of love”; “I never will understand all the good that a simple smile can accomplish”; “Before judging the poor, we have to examine with sincerity our own conscience.” Mother Teresa’s words and deeds fortified and inspired the poor, the dying, and the suffering. These powerful messages, combined with black-and-white photos of this highly regarded woman doing the work she loved, make for a truly unforgettable book.
words of great wisdom This book is made up entirely of Mother Teresa’s anecdotes and sayings. The author tells us little about this saintly woman except that Mother Teresa was very clear in her goals: to love and serve the poor and to see Jesus in everyone. She always left the ways and means to do this in God’s hands. These are a few of the passages that inspired me.
Beautiful, Inspiring Compilation This collection of Mother Teresa’s own words was compiled by a journalist who knew her personally. The quotes are practical and spiritual, like the saint herself. They’re arranged within several categories, including Holiness, Generosity, and Life And Death. One of my favorite Mother Teresa quotes from the book: “Some remind me of what a magazine once said about me; it described me as a “living saint.” If someone sees God in me, I am happy. I see God in everyone, and especially in those who suffer.” Be sure to read the Introduction for a brief account of her remarkable life. Each chapter begins with a photo of Mother Teresa in her work. Whatever your religion or faith, race or color, you will draw both inspiration and hope from this holy woman’s heartfelt words.
Good Collection of Mother Teresa Quotes If you are looking for a concise collection of Mother Teresa quotes, this is a great choice. It is well organized with some of her best wisdom. If you are looking for more than a collection of quotes, then I recommend (as I have in other reviews of Mother Teresa books) that you start with “No Greater Love”. That book remains my favorite book of her wisdom.
