About this audiobook
The twentieth century was deeply impacted by one of the greatest, most inspiring spiritual leaders of all time: Mother Teresa of Calcutta. For millions of people around the world, Mother Teresa stood as the ultimate example of belief and faith in action. She was living proof that one person, filled with love, purpose, and determination, really can make a difference-can, in fact, touch the entire world. This program, narrated by Dr. Lou Tartaglia and woven together with personal insights from Father Angelo, includes some of the rarest recordings ever presented to the public from Mother Teresa herself. The result is something truly unprecedented: A rare and precious glimpse into Mother Teresa's private thoughts and spiritual insights . . . and a practical blueprint for creating a life of deeply authentic spirituality, according to her example.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I LOVE the music! At first I wasn't sure I liked that the book had a commentator. But he grew on me as the book progressed. The words of Mother Teresa and Father Angelo were magnetic. Her words transcend Christianity and apply to all people everywhere. Loved the book!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Listening to this will give you good insight into Mother Teresa, in her own words. As the narrator tells you in the beginning, some of the recordings of Mother speaking are difficult to understand, but most are good.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I have read everything from Herodotus to Stephen King, from Mark Helprin to Victor Hugo and every thing in between. This is unequivocally the BEST book I have ever read. I am on my third read. Simply put, it is a roadmap to life.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I, like many others I'm sure, feel that Mother Teresa was a great person. This book is full of quotes from her. It is awe-inspiring to me that she did such great things and was as humble about what she was doing as she was.While reading these quotes I was struck by how simple the things she said truly were, yet in their simplicity lies their magnitude. She wasn't helping the poor because it made her a better person, she was helping the poor because it was what she was needed to do to strengthen her relationship with Jesus. Many times she mentions that she helps the poor because the poor are Jesus, and by helping them she is helping Jesus. Reading these quotes from her was quite touching. I hope that by listening to the message that she was conveying that I can become a better person.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5This is not a memoir, which of course is what I thought it would be. Instead, it is Mother Teresa's thoughts in a format that is conducive to daily meditations.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Lovely and quick inspiration to be love.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Reason for Reading: for inspiration.A collection of mostly quotes, with some short stories, anecdotes and prayers that Mother Teresa has been recorded saying throughout her life either to the poor themselves, or the media. These are awesomely uplifting, wise and true words of wisdom. If everyone could only take Mother's words to heart and live them spiritually, world poverty would simply cease to exist. The book begins with a short biography and introduction to this selfless woman who won the Nobel Peace Price in 1979 (back when it meant something). This intro. can be presumed to be written by the compiler Balado, as no credit is otherwise given anywhere. The book then is divided into chapters based on theme such as: Holiness, Prayer, Christ in the Poor, Mary, Virtues, Suffering, Smiles, Loneliness and Her Mission among many others.One could quickly gobble up the book in an afternoon but I choose to make it a slow read and ponder Mother Teresa's words. Every evening I would read a two page spread from the book and have the rest of the day to think about any of the thoughts, or ideas that inspired me, and believe me there were many. I often found myself leaving a particularly hard hitting or soul grabbing quote (to me) as my Facebook status and I've dog-eared all the pages with those special words so that in the future I can go back to the book and go straight to those pages. This is a book that will be picked up and laid down many times. A good book to put somewhere accessible to guests in your home.
