Teresa of Calcutta: Serving the Poorest of the Poor

"Mother Theresa of Calcutta" is one of my favorite biographies written for children, but adults will appreciate it as well. Jeanene Watson brings great insight into the life of one of the most loving women that ever walked on this earth. It is not only written to describe the many things Mother Teresa did for the people of India, but it also describes in vivid detail, Mother Teresa's great love for Jesus. She not only loved Him, she knew she was deeply loved by Him. She lived and breathed Jesus' love, and this book makes it all come to life. I found myself tearing up during several passages just realizing how great our God is and how great His love for us is. And I cried at the end, glorifying our great God through the life of this beautiful woman. This book is a must buy!

I read this book with my kids while homeschooling and loved it. Included in the story of Mother Teresa is the part before her ministry to the poor, as a teacher. She didn't want to reach to poor at first and then remembered a scripture in a subsequent visit to the city, changing the course of her life and ours. My mom and I wanted a copy to keep and reread.

So much I didn't know. Everyone should read this book

What an inspirational woman! This book, though written simply for children & early teens, conveyed the truth of Mother Teresa's life. She worked for God alone and trusted in Him with all her heart. Her humor and tenacity came through so clearly. This book was a delight to read.

Great. This book made Mother Teresa more human and touchable than any book I have read about her thus far.

Well read and the kids loved it!

Love the book!

Mother Teresa was a missionary of Christ, compassion and of love. Her love spans all faiths, religions and breaks every boundary. Her story is inspirational and I consider myself honored to just read about what she has done. Once again my 9 year old son has picked a winner!
