A biography of Mother Teresa that pays close attention to how her childhood in Albania affected her spiritual and pastoral development.
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.
Experience the same Spirit-filled words that Mother Teresa shares with the poor, the dying, the hurting, and the skeptical. The quotes, stories, and prayers in this book are hers.

A non-Christian would approve of her saying: We never try to convert those who [we] receive to Christianity. A non-Ch...
