Retail Price: $19.95
CBD Price: $13.99
( In Stock )
Excerpt
Ninety-nine years ago a girl nicknamed 'The Little Bud' was born in what is now Moldavia. In celebration of her centenary, "TIME" will release a handsome, unique volume celebrating Mother Teresa. "TIME MOTHER TERESA", written by prize winning "TIME" magazine religion correspondent David Van Biema, features the most striking photographs of Teresa in existence and original journalism, including new interviews with people who knew her and with those whose lives she changed forever, an essay by the priest in charge of her road to sainthood, and the most compelling voice - her own - as it emerges from dozens of intimately personal notes and letters she wrote throughout her life. The book will trace Teresa's astonishing progress from girlhood to her lonely one-woman mission to the poor, sick, and dying in the slums of Calcutta, India: it will also follow her own transformation from a nun whose mystical visions of a radically new calling were originally doubted, to a globally beloved model for people of all creeds and classes. Hardcover.
