I LOVED this book on Mother Teresa! I have always loved her and knew she loved Jesus deeply. This book on her life, how she started and how it ended, ended with her traveling to Jesus, was a beautiful one of a most humble, beautiful, generous and kind woman. She did it all for Jesus. I am not Catholic, but admire Mother Teresa so much. She finally was able to rest from her labors. Jesus met her as she was going home. I recommend to all, especially those who are Catholic and anyone who just loved Mother Teresa or just wants to read an uplifting life story. Thank you to #NetGalley , the publishers, Barbour Publishing, and to the author, for the opportunity to read and review #ExtraordinaryLove with my honest thoughts and opinions.

I didn't know much about Mother Teresa except what we all know about her. Learning about where she came from, how she grew up, how she came to follow the Lord's leading in her mission work, and many more things about her was fascinating and inspiring. I truly enjoyed getting know Mother Teresa on a deeper level and if you love biographies, especially about figures of faith, this one I highly recommend!

My review is my own and I greatly appreciate Netgalley for allowing me to read and review this book.

Mother Teresa was a woman called to help people, she was humble and devoted to God and her cause.
Born in the Ottoman Empire in 1910 in a christian home, her family was devout Christian and generous to others. During her teenage years she started to feel the call to dedicate her life to God and help people in India.

After a year in Ireland with the Sister of Loreta to learn english she left for India where she will spend the rest of her life and found the Missionaries of Charity now operating all over the world.

This was a very interesting book about her legacy, I wanted to know more about her life, it's so inspiring.

” There could be no life prayer without silence. Silence of the eyes, the ears, the mouth. Silence let prayer lead to love and kindnes. Love led humility. Humility brought joy of serving God.”

I receive a copy of this book and this is an honest review.
