A little depressing, and if you are the hughest of her fans, it will disturb you. I still think very highly of her. And hey, it's good to know we're all human.... Even Mother Teresa! God bless her, she did what she did even with a heavy heart.
a saint for our time

I have read many biographies of Mother Teresa. Some of them had too much information and were not in chronoligical order and confused me. Mother Teresa, Called to Love was easy to read and very interesting. I found it inspirational. I recommend it to anyone who wants to know about Mother Teresa and her great unconditional love for our world and all its people.
A very special biography

Mother Teresa, Called to love is the best book I have ever read about Mother Teresa. Author Maryanne Raphael worked as a Co-Worker of Mother for many years and Mother gave her permission to write this book. It is easy to read, full of intimate interesting details about the life of one of the most holy people who lived during our lifetime. Those who knew Mother Teresa claim to feel her spirit in the book. It is an inspirational work of art. A very special biography.I would recommend it to anyone who is depressed or bored, feeling sorry for themself or lost. Reading this book you feel like you have spent quality time with a saint. I highly recommend it.
WILL INSPIRE MANY GENERATIONS

MOTHER TERESA, CALLED TO LOVE is a beautiful spiritual classic. Maryanne Raphael's powerful writing brings us on Agnes Bojaxhiu's life journey as she becomes Mother Teresa. Mother Teresa touched all of our lives in her efforts to bring peace, beginning with a smile, and inspired millions to care and act in behalf of the suffering and needy. After reading Maryanne Raphael's passionate, heartfelt book, I renewed all of my spiritual commitments. MOTHER TERESA, CALLED TO LOVE, will continue to inspire many generations to come and will keep Mother Teresa's Call to action alive. Taia Chard, Chairman ABI Humanitarian Foundation
