Mother Theresa by Kathryn Spink
Manyhave called her a saint. She won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1979 and India'shighest civilian honor, the Jewel of India, in 1980. Pope John Paul II declaredher Blessed, beatifying her in 2003. For nearly fifty years at the head ofCalcutta's Missionaries of Charity, the Albanian-born Agnes GonxhaBojaxhiu, better known as Mother Teresa, advocatedfor the poor and homeless, ministered to the sick, provided hospice for theafflicted, and embodied the very essence of humanitarianism. Now, revised andupdated, Kathryn Spink's definitive, authorized biography is simply the best . . . around, according to James Martin, SJ, author of The Jesuit Guide to(Almost) Everything. Thoroughly researched, sensitively written andunfailingly inspiring, Kathryn Spink's book should be, after Mother Teresa'sown writings, your first resource for understanding one of the greatest saintsin Christian history.
Black Sash: The Beginning of a Bridge in South Africa, The Call of the Desert: A Biography of Little Sister Magdeleine of Jesus, and Mother Teresa: An Authorized Biography are among Kathryn Spink's bestselling biographies.
