| This is a unique and complete biography composed of eyewitness reports, photographs, and her own lasting words.
The life of Mother Teresa spanned the 20th century and, in ways no one could have foreseen, transformed it. This brief biography offers highlights from her humble yet splendid life, and shows why the love she embodied will last forever.
Haunted by the squalor of Calcutta slums, Mother Teresa founded the Missionaries of Charity in 1948. Her love for the needy soon expanded to embrace the poorest places on earth. Fifty years later, she left behind a worldwide network of more than 4,600 sisters (and even more volunteers) in schools, shelters, clinics, hospitals, leprosaria, and hospices. Winner of the 1979 Nobel Peace Prize, Mother Teresa was unimpressed by her universal celebrity. As the book shows, in word and picture, her eye was always on the greatest prize of all, "the pearl of great price." |
