Mother Teresa
"The popular tendency is to defy myths, gurus and personalities without investigating the claims thoroughly. Mother Teresa is one such name. Does Mother Teresa deserve her reputation as the most charitable person who ever lived ? This book makes for a gripping but disconcerting read."--Publisher's description.
Mother Teresa, the Final Verdict
Does Mother Teresa Deserve Her Reputations As The Most Charitable Person Of All Time: This Book Reveals The Real Teresa.
Unmasking Mother Teresa’s Critics
Mother Teresa was voted the most admired person of the 20th century, and is loved the world over. Still, she was not without her critics. This book closely examines their accusations. What virtually all of her critics have in common is an unabiding disdain for Catholicism—most were, or are, militant atheists. Their strong embrace of socialism is another conspicuous characteristic. What they abhor about Mother Teresa is her strong faith and her altruism.

They are also contemptuous of her private, voluntary efforts to tend to the needs of the poor: socialis...
Mother Teresa
Mother Teresa was one of the most written about and publicised women in modern times. Apart from Pope John Paul II, she was arguably the most advertised religious celebrity in the last quarter of the twentieth century. During her lifetime as well as posthumously, Mother Teresa continues to generate a huge level of interest and heated debate. Gëzim Alpion explores the significance of Mother Teresa to the mass media, to celebrity culture, to the Church and to various political groups. A section explores the ways different vested interests have sought to appropriate her after her death, and also examines Mother Teresa's own attitude to her childhood and to the Balkan conflicts in the 1980s and 1990s. This book sheds a new and fascinating light upon this remarkable and influential woman, which will intrigue followers of Mother Teresa and those who study the vagaries of stardom and celebrity culture.

Mother Teresa
Mother Teresa was an embodiment of live, kindness and selfless service. She spent her life teaching to the poor, sick and the abandoned. To those who were left on the streets to die while the world watched in silence and indifference, she became the caregiver. What the world witnessed was a divine being, full of compassion, doing God's will on earth. Believing that there is God in every human being, she said "I see god in every human being. When I wash the leper's wounds, I feel I am nursing the Lord himself. Is it not a beautiful experience?" Mother Teresa maintained that it is preferable to make mistakes in kindness than work miracles in unkindness. Most of her biographies are completely r...
The Missionary Position
Recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize, feted by politicians, the Church and the world's media, Mother Teresa of Calcutta appears to be on the fast track to sainthood. But what makes Mother Teresa so divine? In this frank and damning exposé of the Teresa cult, Hitchens details the nature and limits of one woman's mission to help the world's poor. He probes the source of the heroic status bestowed upon an Albanian nun whose only declared wish was to serve God. He asks whether Mother Teresa's good works answered any higher purpose than the need of the world's privileged to see someone, somewhere, doing something for the Third World. He unmasks pseudo-miracles, questions Mother Teresa's fitness to...
