Part biography and part spiritual reading, these pages bring to light little-known stories from Mother Teresas life that will help you to grow in your love of God. You will learn her approach to reading Scripture, what enabled her to persevere through agonizing nights, and the remarkable some would say mystical events that led her to start the Missionaries of Charity.
In considering Mother Teresa, her private visions, and her secret sufferings, David Scott has discovered scores of early episodes and chance encounters that point to later, larger meanings. These remarkable patterns, he suggests, show that Mother Teresas life was choreographed from above, as if a divine script had been written for her from before her birth.
In these pages, you will meet for the first time the Mother Teresa who challenged the ancient Goddess of Death and became the first saint of our global village. You will read as she describes, in long-secret letters, the dark night of her soul. The woman you will meet is one that God himself sent to you as a clear sign that despite pain and suffering in our lives and in our world, Gods good love will prevail . . . beginning in the slums of our hearts.
We are all called to holiness, and the saints are sent to us as real life examples of Gods love. With Mother Teresa as your guide, youll learn how to follow Gods call and find holiness in a world marked by the shadow of death and growing indifference to God. Indeed, youll learn how to be an everyday missionary of Christs love in the ordinary activities of your daily life.
