Publisher's Summary
This book includes correspondence (and context for understanding it) from Mother Teresa's early years in religious life and throughout her years as founder of a new religious community. This correspondence reveals Mother Teresa's struggles, doubts, and her sense of abandonment by God. These revelations can encourage and strengthen us as she reveals her abiding faith despite darkness and trials.
Missionary of Charity Father Brian Kolodiejchuk met Mother Teresa in 1977 and joined the Missionaries of Charity Fathers at the time of their foundation in 1984. He is postulator of the Cause of Beatification and Canonization of Mother Teresa of Calcutta and director of the Mother Teresa Center.

What the Critics Say
"Mother Teresa's ministry with the poor won her the Nobel Prize and the admiration of a believing world. Her ministry to a doubting modern world may have just begun." (James Martin, S.J., Culture Editor, America magazine)
"Mother Teresa, sick with longing for a sense of the divine, kept faith with the sick of Calcutta. And now, dead for [over] 10 years, she is poised to reach those who can at last recognize, in her, something of their own doubting, conflicted selves." (The New York Times)
"Saints are not holy for themselves, but for all of us, their sisters and brothers. I believe this book will become a classic in spirituality." (James Van Vurst, O.F.M., St. Anthony Messenger magazine)

"Beautiful!"
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?This was a beautiful look inside this Godly woman, who was anything but ordinary.She wanted no credit or glory, simply to serve the poorest of the poor.It went through her life and inner thoughts from youth through her life.Inspirational and encouraging to find the light within us all. Even in the darkest nights of her soul, she radiated love and light.She needed no money to feed and bless multitudes.Truly an Ascended Master!

"A narrater can kill a good book"
Would you try another book from Brian Kolodiejchuk and/or the narrators?The male narrators are ok it is the female narrator that makes Mother Theresa sound sickly sweet, and since this is mainly about Mother Theresa's writings, for me it was a major turn off
You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?Yes the book was good- the female narrator not so!

"Not Bad"
Is there anything you would change about this book?YES Repetitiveness! I understand that Mother Teresa had her struggles, but they were often the same struggle. I think it's very human to struggle with the same things but at the same time, when I am reading, it is annoying to read the same thing as if you hadn't told me once already. This is really my biggest problem with this story. Also, there is a mix of letters and them kind of a commentary of Mother Teresa. I think her letters are way more interesting than speculation or the interference of another person writing in the middle.
What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)I am not sure how to share the ending without giving spoilers so I am skipping this question.
Did the narration match the pace of the story?The pace seemed maybe a bit slow at times, specially in between letters of Mother Teresa.
If this book were a movie would you go see it?No, this is not movie material. This would be a slow paced film. I don't know why this would be asked because a film script does not have the same liberties that a novel has. This is fine as a book, not a movie.
Any additional comments?This isn't a bad book. I was just expecting a bit more information of direct info from Mother Teresa. I found the author almost an interference unless it was information of where or why a letter was written.
