Mother Teresa: A Biography

In this new biography, students will follow Agnes Gonxha Bojaxhiu from her humble Albanian birth to worldwide celebrity as Mother Teresa. The nun who attended to the dying and diseased in Calcutta, India, and established her Missionaries of Charity around the world had to prove to the hierarchy in the patriarchal Catholic system, even in the Vatican, that she was capable of handling each project she proposed. With her vision to live and work among the ‘poorest of the poor’ was founded a new order that tended to society’s outcasts.

This narrative chronicles the expansion and success of Mother Teresa’s order and the eventual recognition that was showered on her efforts. This increasing attention led to scrutiny and criticism of her ideology, methods of care, and financing. The accusations of hypocrisy, among others, are discussed, as is her controversial beatification. Readers will be challenged to consider for themselves whether Mother Teresa deserves to be sainted.

Mother Teresa: A Complete Authorized Biography

April 16,

Mother Teresa was so extreme in her devotion to the poor that reading about her made me feel like two cents. I actually wasn't enjoying the book that much for awhile, it was basically: M.T. opens a church. M.T. chooses to sleep in a pile of dirt for two years. M.T. battles the Vatican to get her way. Repeat. But I felt like a beeyotch if I couldn't even READ a book about M.T. Like, she could sleep in a pile of dirt so the least I can do is read about it. In that sense, I suggest that NOBODY PICKS UP THIS BOOK. It is cursed in that way, the second you touch it you will feel guilt to finish it, no matter how torturous it may be. Or maybe that's just me. I wouldn't risk it. The funny thing is, Mother Teresa wasn't even all that religious. I mean, she said she was, and she said she did it all for God. But really this was a book about a woman who was fanatical in her drive to sacrifice everything for the poor. Everything. If she hadn't been brought up Catholic, she would just be some crazy lady sleeping in the dirt touching the untouchables, I swear. (But still being AWESOME. I don't mean to belittle her.) But she really butted heads with the Catholic Church, and I hate to say this, but the things about the Catholic Church
