Book review - Mother Teresa of Calcutta: A Personal Portrait - by Father Leo Maasburg
Father Leo Maasburg, a priest and personal friend of Mother Teresa, wrote this book, telling first hand stories about Mother Teresa, her ministry, and his interactions with her. He tries to give a very balanced, honest portrait of this humble religious sister who had such an impact on our world. He gives a lot of detail about his interactions with her and actual events that occurred. Mother Teresa has a lot of good quotes, which, like the quotes of St Therese of the Little Flower and Pope Francis, are very down to earth and easy to understand. I really enjoyed this book. Our parish book clubs will be reading it during Lent.
