Mother Teresa of Calcutta: Finding God Helping Others: Life of Mother Teresa Paperback – January 28, 2015

Mother Teresa of Calcutta by Shalu Sharma is a remarkable and delightful biography from one of indie lit’s most promising authors. Having built her reputation on informative guides for travelers and students, Sharma adds to her anthology with this inspiring work on the life of a religious icon. Mother Teresa is renowned throughout the world for her selfless devotion to the people of India, and Sharma takes us from her humble beginnings in Macedonia to her ministry as a founder of the Missionaries of Charity in Calcutta. This is a well-designed book with the colorful pictures that have become a Sharma trademark. It’s also filled with lots of information about the life of one of the world’s most beloved humanitarians. For lovers of Indian culture and history and readers of all ages, Mother Teresa of Calcutta by Shalu Sharma is a worthy addition to every bookshelf.

I've always been curious about Mother Teresa. I have even bought few books about her, the first few told same thing. This book tells a little more different from the others that I've read. The author wasn't bias and I love her for that.Mother Teresa for me is more likely that she has inspired many humanitarian workers whose actions have truly relieved the suffering of the destitute and addressed the causes of poverty and isolation without being extolled by the media. But whether or not her image is deserved, the author accept that there are many positives to her reputation.

This is the second book I've read by Sharma,and I will definitely read others. She speaks with a clear, straightforward voice, giving and insightful overview of the life of Mother Teresa. She has done her homework thoroughly and clearly enjoys writing the story.I think this book would be particularly well suited to Jr High Students wanting a "beyond the textbook" understanding of this remarkable person.

I am torn in two, because the subject of the book, st. Mother Teresa, is so great and worth of knowing, but the book itself is terribly written. It repeats the same information all the time, is written in half apologetic half relativistic mode and in general is not a good read. I suggest to potential readers to get another book about this great saint. The only reason I gave it 3 stars is the topic.

Mother Teresa of Calcutta is an informative account of Mother Teresa’s life. A simple biography and details about how and what she did to help those less fortunate. Mother Teresa has been a legacy all my life and I truly enjoyed learning more about her as a person and her acts of kindness and goodwill. As all of Shalu Sharma’s books her writing is impeccable and objective.

I am not a catholic, I am not a missionary, and I can hardly call myself a humanitarian. However, mother Teresa has inspired me through her actions. This book does a remarkable woman justice by showcasing her incredible deeds. Highly recommended.

Truly an inspirational book that will get you to really think about meaning of life. Mother Teresa lived a life to serve others not for herself and made a huge influence in our lives today. This is a mandatory read for all people. Recommended

This was a very brief overview of the life of Mother Teresa. Honestly I expected more.

Mother Teresa held values of kindness and generosity to those less fortunate than themselves - something we should never forget - and this book deals with the memory of Mother Teresa by emphasising her values of kindness and generosity instead of questioning her faith in God. This book shows what a wonderful woman she was through her actions towards others, not her religious affiliations. In doing so, it contains a great message, reflecting that it is indeed a shame the world has become so obsessed with the need for material gain at the expense of showing love and gratitude toward our fellow human beings. Mother Teresa was a true altruist and this book is a true gem. Five stars.

This is a truly great read. Not only is it extremely informative in regards to the life of this prolific woman, Mother Theresa it is also a very motivational book. It also serves as a reminder to many of us that you could always do more to help others, and to remain humble.

Could have got most of it on Wikipedia. Too much of the book repeated in different chapters.

Super redundant. It was like a whole bunch of mini essays saying the same thing just a little but differently. Towards the end it got a little less repetitive.
