The Best Gift Is Love: Meditations by Mother Teresa

Rating:
Summary: This is a great gift and/or a wonderful book to ponder.
Review: Love to Mother was an action, not an emotion. Twice I was with Mother Teresa in Calcutta, India. Twice I was in the presence of greatness.

She once took my hands in hers and said to me, "Love is giving, so go love. Don't use words where your hands can speak better." Mother was love. Her two gnarled hands stretched out to bring selfless, pure love to the orphan, the dying, the despised. At the entrance to the leprosarium there is a notice which reads: "Where there is great love, there are always great miracles."

This small, 116-page booklet cannot capture the immensity of Mother's love for all humanity, but it can give you a sampling of her spirit. The 35 black-and-white photos of Mother Teresa along with her words of wisdom make this an excellent gift or just a book to put in your pocket and read daily, while commuting, waiting in a line, or somewhere in our love-starved world. Highly recommend.

Summary: written with gentle piety
Review: There is a profundity to Mother Teresa's deceptively simple theology that surpasses the understanding. Rooted in her own experiences, it spreads cheer and peace in a way entirely unlike more "happy" or "optimistic" religious affirmations of faith.

Review: What more is there to say? I am not a religious person. But this book brought me to spiritual peace. I feel blessed to have lived during the time this woman walked the face of the earth.
