Product Description:
No woman alive today has inspired so many with her simplicity of faith and compassion so all-encompassing. As she daily embraces the 'least of the least' in her arms, Mother Theresa challenges the whole world to greater acts of service and understanding in the name of love.
First published in 1971, this classic work introduced Mother Theresa to the Western World. As timely now as it was then, Something Beautiful for God interprets her life through the eyes of a modern-day skeptic who became literally transformed within her presence, describing her as 'a light which could never be extinguised.'

Rating:  - Something Beautiful for God
In this book it describes how Mother Teresa established her Missionaries of Charity and how they served the sick, suffering and dying in Calcutta. She gave everything she had and her life was totally dedicated to her mission, her calling and those who were hungry, homeless, and very sick. This book makes me realize that everything that I have today is a gift from God! Great book.

Having grown up in the UK, I knew of Malcom Muggeridge. He was a brilliant scholar and was on many programs on the BBC, including the "Brain's Trust" which had people like Aldous Huxley and others- trully eminent scholars all of them.

Our wee Mother Theresa changed all that and this little book, shows how ... Read More
Rating: - Can't put it down, but you'll want to
Have you ever been halfway through a book and all of a sudden had an urge to throw it down and run do what the author was suggesting? If not, order this book and you will.
Muggeridge's account of Mother Teresa is classic for a good reason. Rarely does one find Christianity actually personified outside the person of Christ himself, but Muggeridge has painted a beautiful picture indeed of one such individual.
Rating: - Inspirational read!
This book was recommended by Father Illo from St. Josephs in Modesto. Very moving and inspirational book. I highly recommend!
Rating:  - malcolm on mother
Late in his adult life the renowned agnostic Malcolm Muggeridge converted to Christianity through the influence of Mother Teresa (1910-1997). In 1959 he interviewed Mother Teresa, and then ten years later made a television documentary of her life for the BBC. To honor her beatification in October 2003, Harper reissued the book version of these two efforts as a short, popular biography. Muggeridge reviews how Mother Teresa left her very satisfying call as a high school teacher and followed her "call ... Read More
