Where There Is Love, There Is God: Her Path To Closer Union With God And Greater Love For Others (2012) - Plot & Excerpts
This book, which I received via the Blogging for Books program, has been on my dresser waiting to be read since before Christmas. In case you haven't noticed, I've been in kind of a reading/blogging funk. Tonight I picked it up and thought I'd start reading a biography of Mother Teresa. I soon found that it wasn't a biography but rather a collection of Mother Teresa's sayings and teachings. Generally when I write a DNF review, I'm saying a book isn't good enough to finish. Today I'm writing a DNF review because it is going to take me a LONG time to finish this book, not because it is extraordinarily long but because it is extraordinarily full of things on which to reflect. I recommend this book as a prayer aid, as one to be read in small batches as a source for meditation, and that's what I am going to do. I'm going to leave you with the saying on Mother Teresa's "business card".The fruit of silence is prayerThe fruit of prayer is faithThe fruit of faith is loveThe fruit of love is serviceThe fruit of service is peaceMay the peace of the Lord by always with you. Wanted to hear what motivated Mother Teresa's passion for the poor. This book detailed some of her teachings to the sisters and her personal thoughts and beliefs in her ministry. I also learned what Mother Teresa's ministry consisted of each day and how she prepared in her heart to serve as Jesus did. Liberal spoiler: Mother Teresa loved even the unborn and thought the loss of the innocents a great sadness in the world. This book is a great insight into one person's ministry in the name of Christ to the poorest of the poor. Great book, great women.
