Mother Teresa's relationship with God and her commitment to those she served -- the poorest of the poor -- is here powerfully explored in her own words. Taken largely from her pirvate lessons to her sisters, Where There Is Love, There Is God unveils Mother Teresa's extraordinary faith in and surrender to God's will. Sent to alleviate the sufferings of the poor, she assumed their struggles and pain in the depths of her heart. This led to particularly intense anguish which she lived through with heroic courage and fidelity over several decades. Although not an exhaustive anthology of Mother Teresa's teaching, this collection nonetheless shows what she believed and taught about important issues that confront all people. Due to her constant interaction with people of diverse backgrounds, no life situation was foreign to her and in this book her role is primarily one of teacher and guide. Love is perhaps the word that best summarizes Mother Teresa's life and message.
