Inspiring Thoughts from a Contemporary Saint.

This small book contains short reflections of Mother Teresa of Calcutta taken from her various addresses, meditations, prayers and letters. These extracts are classified and placed under eleven heads for easy access. One can savor this book piece by piece using these thoughts for personal reflection and prayer. Very economic in words and at the same time personal and direct in her style, she is very persuasive. The extracts have certain forcefulness about them setting the fire of love ablaze in our hearts. This book also has a thought-provoking introduction by Malcolm Muggeridge who reflects on the person of Mother Teresa through his own experiences with her.
