Synopsis: God Thirsts for Our Love as We Thirst for His
From The Cover

Whatever you thought you knew -- about God, about life, about the world -- let Mother Teresa's profound spirituality, and her relationship with Our Lord, take you deeper still.

Thirty years after her Nobel Peace Prize, five years since her beatification, and one year since the media-generated controversy reagrding her "dark night", Mother Teresa's message has never been more important than it is today. She continues to be a worldwide icon for Christians and non-Christians alike, a symbol of every person's capacity to do extraordinary things.

Now, for the first time, this captivating work reveals what Mother Teresa herself considered the heart of her message. Let it guide you to the most neglected realms of your spirit and transform your life in the same way Mother Teresa's divine encounter tranformed hers.

Written by the co-founder of her priest's community, Father Joseph Langford, and published at the personal request of Mother Teresa to share her message with the world. Now, some ten years after the death of the beloved "saint of Calcutta" you can read about this transformative experience.
