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.

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!

What a treasure!

This audiobook contains various recordings of Mother Teresa herself. It's as if she takes you by the hand, speaks directly to your heart, and teaches you how to love. It will change your life! <3

Adore this audiobook

Mother Teresa has always been a strong part of my life as a child and growing up. Hearing Mother Teresa speak, profoundly and deeply touched my heart and soul, and I appreciate this audiobook very much. I started to listen to this around Mothers Day 2021 and how much I wish I had known this book existed 2 years ago. The special thing about audiobooks - and specifically this one - is that no matter how isolated, alone, fearful we are or has been imposed on us - listening to Saint Teresa's words and having her words resonate in my heart as reminders of who we are / who I am and what I fundamentally believe in, is something that someone can never take away from us once we are re-grounded or reconnected. There is healing in listening to Mother Teresa, healing that only came from hearing her words and reconnecting to faith and hope (for me) and so I highly recommend this book to others for so many reasons.

It has been refreshing and uplifting to be reminded through Mother Teresa's words that we were Created for greater things, to never do harm, to do all things - starting with small things with love and that "God uses the unborn child to teach lessons, not big people or important people" (chapter 30). The gift of life, realities of abortion and the ending life, destroying love, peace, and the effects abortion has years on women and mothers is important and often forgotten.

"Love begins at home; it it starts at home and without it will destroy unity, society, peace" (Chapter 31). Love life and God, and love your neighbor.

Such a precious book. ♥️🌸
