I just finished this new book on Mother Teresa. I’ve always admired Mother Teresa. She is someone who I crave to be, but fall short every single day. It is so wonderful that they published this book with unpublished material for us. The book itself is so inspiring. The call for us to have MERCY so important today. You can take this book and read it in snippets, or as a devotional, it is easily divided up into little gifts of words and challenges gleaned from her absolute service of her life. It is a good book to own to reread and challenge yourself when needed to do service work, to try to help create love in the world for all.
Peace.
