Collopy's volume on Mother Teresa is a spiritual journey even for the atheist. The compassion, humility and love that was Mother Teresa and lives on in the work of her Sisters is caringly portrayed in Michael Collopy's book. You see a rare side of Mother Teresa whose warm smile could light up a room. Collopy adds a tremendous dimension with his own recollections of speciifc instances noted in his photogrpahs. His own spiritual depth and the impact that Mother Teresa had on his life is apparent.

This is an assemblege of photography of Mother Teresa and her nuns doing their work in various locations around the world. Picture speak a thousand words, and this book gives a true sense of the daily works they do.

This book shows the life of what the sisters of charity do and it is excellent. I say the pictures here touch your heart. Seeing all these pictures of the lives of the Sisters of Charity and Mother Theresa are great. Looking at what they do is more touching that just hearing it.

This is the best book on Mother Teresa. The convents for the Missionaries of Charity (Mother Teresa's religious order) all have this book. I work with the Sisters feeding the poor and purchase copies through Amazon to give to the co-workers (volunteers) of the Missionaries of Charity. This book shows photos of the Missionaries of Charity's work around the world, and wonderful quotes and prayers from Mother Teresa.

This book has some of the most beautiful photos of Mother Teresa. I learned so much about her by just thumbing through it. It made me want learn more about her and I could not resist going directly home from the local library and buying on Amazon. The words and the photos are all great. If you want to learn about becoming a better person, look at some of the life of one of those who lived best!

I am a photography major at Purdue University. I have the book and believe that Michael Collopy is a brilliant photographer. If there is anyone out there who knows how I can get in touch with him, please let me know. I want to do a report on him for one of my classes.
