Excellent BiographyBy MGQPI led a book group discussion of this inspiring biography. I'm not Catholic; but as a Christian and a human being; I was moved to look more for miracles and to serve more by reading about Mother Teresa in this well-written book. Also; I read the previous edition of this book a few years ago and I was pleased an mostly satisfied with the updates addressing criticism and other post-humous info on Mother Teresa; sainthood; etc.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
