This review is from: Teresa of Calcutta: Serving the Poorest of the Poor (Sower Series) (Paperback)

This book tells about the joys and struggles of Mother Teresa. It tells about her childhood, how she announced she wanted to be a nun, and about the children of India. She sets up a hospital for injured people, visits lepars and more. This book tells of how Mother Teresa lived, and what she sacrificed. This book is awesome and I recommend it to anyone.

This review is from: Teresa of Calcutta: Serving the Poorest of the Poor (Sower Series) (Paperback)

Mother Teresa was a missionary of Christ, compassion and of love. Her love spans all faiths, religions and breaks every boundary. Her story is inspirational and I consider myself honored to just read about what she has done. Once again my 9 year old son has picked a winner!
