Gayla C. (hope7) reviewed My review of the book titled , HEART OF JOY, The transforming power of self-giving by Mother Teresa. on 6/22/2009 + 109 more book reviews

If you feel like you dont contribute much to society due to poverty, or handicap, or some draw back this book is for you. If you dont understand why life can be so hard you need to read this book. If you are alone, rejected, despised this book is for you. Mother Teresa explains humanities needs and how to met them like it was pouring a glass of water, simple, easy and refreshing. She explains how the Missionaries of Charity, the group of co-workers she organized, help met the needs of the poor and dying around the world. I guarantee when you get done reading this book you will have more respect for the poor and needy in your communities.
It helped me in regards to the need to give more and know that when I do I am giving it to Christ himself, what an honor, and blessing rolled up in one. Points I really liked about this book are many but I will sum it up with a few lessons from Mother Teresa,quote from page 45.
Quote: May we never forget that in the service to the poor we are offered a magnificent opportunity to do something beautiful for God. End quote
And in conclusion this quote, which touched me so deeply, I dont think I will ever be the same again:
I give this book a 5 and recommend it when you need a pick me up and it can be read in a few hours.
