Book Review: "Mother Teresa: Come Be My Light: The Private Writings of the 'Saint of Calcutta,'" edited and with commentary by Brian Kolodiejchuk, M.C.

Excellent book. She was an amazing woman. People think of her as being someone close to GOD, but in reality there was a darkness in her spiritual life to the point where she didn't hear HIS Voice for over 50 years. She heard HIM call her to a life serving the poorest of the poor, and then she never heard from HIM again. She survived solely on faith (and GOD's grace). While at first she was devestated by this, she came to accept it as way to understand and thus reach those who had never heard from GOD. She also felt it was a way to feel what JESUS must have felt on the Cross, and to her that was very important, because she wanted to be like HIM in everything. What made Mother Teresa so amazing was not that she was any closer to GOD than anyone else, but that she had such a resolute faith, and that she lived it out with her whole heart.
