Blessed Mother Teresa is rightly loved throughout the world. But it is in India that the "Mother of the Failures" began the providential work which knew no boundaries. There, Mother Teresa is loved by all because she saw God, loved God, preached God, and bore testimony of God's love to others. Mother Teresa was truly the "servant" of every human being.

In this beautiful coffee table padded hardcover edition of The Mother of Charity, boasting more than 650 full-color photographs of Mother Teresa's ministry, Don Lush Gjergji sets out from afar, digging into the history of the Albanian people, and into the Gonxhe Bojaxhiu's family - along the way painting the portrait of Mother Teresa's life. He retraces her journey from infancy and youth up to the most radical decision of her life - following her departure from Skopje, to Zagreb, then Dublin and, finally, India in December 1928.

The Mother of Charity is a deep, illustrated look at the entirety of Blessed Mother Teresa's life -- a life that was a "courageous challenge of love". The poor, sick and abandoned were her daily and constant passion. The entire world watched the Mother of the Suffering World - as Father Lush rightly defines her

We are a drop in the ocean of misery and human suffering. But, if it was not for this drop, the misery and human suffering would be greater still.
-- Blessed Mother Teresa
