5.0 out of 5 stars A work of the heart..., October 29, 2007

(REAL NAME)   
Two hearts, really - Mother Teresa and Fr. Langford who knew her and her work so well.

Mother Teresa was an important person in the lives of two people I loved very much - my parents. She met my father after a life-altering stroke and gave him hope for the future. That same hope carried my mother through the years following my father's death and her own battle with a debilitating illness. Mother Teresa continues to inspire me today.

Fr. Langford's account of Mother Teresa's work and her life with the poor and forgotten of this world is a life lesson for all of us. It is only in forgetting ourselves that we begin to live and to move closer to the One who died and rose for us. Mother Teresa saw the face of Our Lord in every person she met. Her faith and trust in God is something we should strive for each and every day.

I urge everyone to purchase this book and to read about a life lived for others, and how that life continues to change the world.

5.0 out of 5 stars Divine intervention?, November 20, 2007
By Penelope (USA) - See all my reviews
I was sent this book instead of the book that I ordered. Since I am in the biggest spiritual slump of my life I am guessing that "someone" must think I need the inspiration of Mother Teresa. From what I have read so far, I am very excited to have recieved it.

5.0 out of 5 stars I love this book!, October 27, 2007
By John Christensen (Indiana) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
In the Shadow of Our Lady is an incredible book. I was drawn into the stories and depth of the writing immediately. There is so much to learn about Mother Teresa's spiritual life -- but also as it applies to me. Her simple, but powerful insights as related by someone as close to her as Fr. Joe was, are absolutley life changing. I highly recommend this inspirational book!
