Here is a dialogue between two great souls -- Mother Teresa and Brother Roger -- about the nature and need for prayer in the world, about community in the Body of Christ, about holding Christ in your heart by being of service to others. More than anything, it is a book of prayer and service. Get this book and relish each of the topics. You will find it on your nightstand for many weeks as you read and reread the thoughts and insights of these remarkable people. They are remarkable in that they are like you and me -- except they devoted their lives to service, reconciliation, community, and love for the unloved.

This is an excellent book on the interconnectedness between
prayer and Jesus Christ. Mother Teresa emphasizes our humanity
to point out the need for prayer in the complicated mesh
between the temporal life and eternal salvation.

Essentially, Mother Teresa is saying that there can be no salvation without prayer and contemplation on a spiritual level. The Mother Teresa lead a simple life substantially in the service of the poor and needy. In many ways, Mother Teresa shunned worldly things in favor of spirituality. This work emphasizes her
philosophy of life and the transitory steps necessary to
reach an eternal salvation through the power of frequent
prayer and Jesus Christ as an intermediary.

The book is a worthy purchase for readers interested in the
life and philosophy of Mother Teresa.
