Mother Teresa

Résumé du livre

Mother Teresa¿s work for -- and among -- the poor has become the yardstick by which the entire world measures compassion, generosity, and selflessness. From 1950, when she founded the order of Missionaries of Charity, to winning the Nobel Peace Prize in 1979, and then, in 1985, being awarded the Medal of Freedom -- America¿s highest civilian award -- to her final days, Mother Teresa served the world as a beacon shedding the light of hope, comfort, and peace on all. This book contains the same quotes, stories, and prayers that helped strengthen and inspire the poor, the dying, the suffering, and the doubting who she met during her lifetime, and that will continue to strengthen and inspire all who read them.
