Runaways: America's Lost Youth

This is an important book. Nowhere else have I seen the theme of the runaways treated as thoroughly, honestly, unflinchingly. It not only describes the various stories fully, but it offers suggestions for improving a tragic situation. Anais Nin

"Spending time with Mother Teresa and her Missionaries of Charity enriched my life, and I want to share Mother's warm spirit, wisdom and unconditional love. Mother said, 'If God calls you into the street, go into the street with a smile, but don't go unless he calls you. If he calls you into a palace, go there with a smile.'"—From the Introduction The life of Mother Teresa and the work of her Missionaries of Charity have inspired millions. This intimate portrait, drawn by a woman who worked with Mother Teresa and was encouraged to write about the experience, uses primary sources and personal anecdotes to bring the real Mother Teresa to vivid life. In relating her own stories about Mother Teresa, Maryanne Raphael illustrates the life-changing potential of Mother's insight and wisdom. More than mere biography, What Mother Teresa Taught Me is an engaging primer on living a more Christian life.

CALLED TO LOVE is a down-to-earth, easy-to-read account helping the reader to feel Mother Teresa's spirit. In the Introduction, Raphael tells of her personal experiences with Mother Teresa, how she changed her life and taught her to love. The book itself is a dramatic narrative allowing the reader to witness the miracle of her life and work. 
One reader said he had planned to take in a few pages each night, but it grabbed him and he devoured every page before he put it down. It raised my spirits at the same time it made me want to cry, he said, and I felt this sense of peace.
