Synopsis

Known around the globe for her indefatigable work on behalf of the poor, the sick, and the dying, Mother Teresa has devoted her life to giving hope to the hopeless in more than one hundred and twenty countries. She inspires us all to find a way to translate our spiritual beliefs into action in the world. How has one woman accomplished so much? And what are the guiding principles that have enabled this humble nun to so profoundly effect the lives of millions?
Now, in her own words, Mother Teresa shares the thoughts and experiences that have led her to do her extraordinary charitable work. A candid look at her everyday life--at the very simplicity and self-sacrifice that give her the strength to move mountains--A Simple Path gives voice to the remarkable spirit who has dedicated her life to the poorest among us.
Just as important as her beliefs are how they are put into action in the world, and A Simple Path also tells the story of the founding of the Missionaries of Charity, their purpose and practice, and the results of their tireless work. Through faith, surrender, and prayer, the missionaries live to serve others; they have improved the lives of countless souls and given dignity to the dying. Their mission has also produced a ripple effect, spreading human compassion to communities where there is need.
Through these examples, as well as the uplifting words and guiding prayers of Mother Teresa and those who work with her, everyone can learn how to walk the simple path that Mother Teresa has laid out for us, to help create a truly kinder world for the future.
A Simple Path is a unique spiritual guide for Catholics and non-Catholics alike: full of wisdom and hope from the one person who has given us the greatest model of love in action in our time.

About this title

From the Publisher:

This book is simply priceless. It's Mother Teresa's autobiography, which she crafted with writer Lucinda Vardey, a few years before she passed away. This book gives voice to a remarkable spirit who has dedicated her life to the poorest among us and given us the greatest model of love in action in our time.

A SIMPLE PATH not only offers a candid look at Mother Teresa's everyday life, but collects her spiritual wisdom. What we find is a simple path for us to follow so that we, too, can create a truly kinder world for the future. Mother Teresa may no longer be here on earth, but her spirit is alive today, in her works of goodness and kindness, and in each of us. --E. Zack, Senior Editor
