Come and See by Linda Schaefer

This is a wonderful book depicting classic scenes of the Mother Teresa of Calcutta. There are pictures of the "Profession of Vows". The headquarters for the Missionaries of Charity are depicted in full color , as well as, a small group of lepers . In addition, there are many full length portraits of the Mother Teresa in a variety of missionary settings. The acquisition is well worth the price for historians, theologists and a wide constituency of academicians. A strength of the work is that the Mother Teresa is shown working within the historical context of helping the poor, sick and disadvantaged in Calcutta, India. This book would make a perfect acquisition for a student project on poverty .

A warm and heart-touching visual showcase

Come And See: A Photojournalist's Journey Into The World Of Mother Teresa by Linda Schaefer (the last professional photographer granted personal written permission by Mother Teresa to photograph that sainted lady's work) is a warm and heart-touching visual showcase, lavishly illustrated with full color photographs of that hallowed Roman Catholic nun and the destitute and desperate people she spent her life striving to help. A thoughtful text contemplates the stirring captured images in this reverent, respectful, and joyful tribute.
