Mother Teresa's Lessons of Love and Secrets of Sanctity

An inside view of Mother Teresa's heroic love at work A moving first-hand account of Mother Teresa and her work, written by someone who worked by her side. As an idealistic young volunteer, author Susan Conroy spent a summer serving in one of Mother Teresa's orphanages and in the Home for the Dying. "In a city where I found hell on earth," she says, "I also found each day a deep sense of peace and incredible happiness." It was an experience that changed her life forever. She learned why Mother Teresa had found real joy in working with the poorest of the poor. Along the way, she took striking photographs that have never been seen before now - photographs that show Mother Teresa at her everyday best. This is an account you won't soon forget, told with simple and loving directness by an eyewitness. In the summer of 1986, 21-year-old Susan Conroy left her family and friends and headed off to Calcutta, India -- alone -- to assist the Missionaries of Charity. Her goals for this journey were ambitious: "Work alongside Mother Teresa, actively trying to learn her ways of selfless love, devotion, and service". "Grow stronger in my faith". "Grow in appreciation for what I have been given". "Grow in concern for human life". "Carry through life all that I will learn, and share this with others". Now, in a one-of-a-kind, first-person account with never-before-published photographs, Susan Conroy takes you there. "This is a story about how 'all things are possible with God,'" she writes. "It is a treasury of the lessons of love that I learned from Mother Teresa and her beloved poorest of the poor."
