Good but nit for everyone

This is not an autobiography or a biography. This is strictly an audiobook as it contains actual voice recordings of Mother Teresa on various thoughts and subjects . Not all recordings are of equal value. Some are clear and others sound as if they were recorded from the back of the room picking up every murmur, throat clearing and such. While I found Mother Teresa’s voice soothing, some of her views on certain topics went a bit over the top for me.

Mother Teresa: In Her Own Words

This audio book is such a blessing for us to hear the words and lessons of a saint from the saint herself. It is a very humbling experience. The road to sainthood seems daunting but God calls us all to be saints. St. Teresa of Calcutta shows us how we can work toward doing God's will in our own life and she makes it seem very possible.

Remarkable telling other remarkable life

Mother Teresa was a phenomenal individual. She was called by God to do great things. She reminds us that he did not also called us to do great things. The narration in this book is excellent. The parts where we hear recordings of Mother Teresa are sometimes difficult to understand, but overall well worth the effort. I would highly recommend this book for anyone wanting to learn about Mother Teresa and improves her own spiritual life.

Wonderful

The narrator is a bit overly on the nose hammering home points and over arching messages. However, it's a very touching audio book and all the recorded clips of Mother Teresa, though somewhat repetitive, are very inspiring!

Jesus in the most distressing disguise

Composed of clips of lectures Mother Tresa gave & narrations, emphasizing her points. This would not be considered a traditional narrative or biography. That being said this book contains beautiful gems of wisdom for those who wish to follow one of the greatest commandments, love your neighbor, as Jesus loves you. If you have ears to hear with, you will gain wisdom.

Life changing

If you read about Mother Theresa for to long - be warned it will change the way you see everyone you ever come into contact with. She was inspiring to hear in her own words however sometimes the audio quality was lacking. It is very old audio that they available, but worth the effort it take to hear her. Her life was A blessing to the world. A living example of loving and being only all for Jesus. Wonderful I can’t say enough good about it.

Great Audiobook!

Loved listening to her voice and all her stories! Learned a lot! Hearing Father Angelo's experience working with Mother was great too!
