Why read on Fable?
Publisher Description
A year of daily inspiration from the renowned spiritual leader, Mother Teresa.
The provocative ideas and touching insights found in The Joy in Loving spring from incidents in Mother Teresa's own remarkable life. She speaks of men and women who have lived and died uncomplainingly, even in the midst of great poverty and deprivation; of wealthy businessmen whose indifference has been transformed into compassion and charity, and of her encounters with people and governments around the globe. Through all of this, Mother Teresa emphasizes the need for a disciplined, loving family life, for "in the home begins the disruption of the peace of the world." Drawing on more than seventy years of selfless service to the poorest of the poor, she discusses the importance of work and prayer, charity and service, the right to life and, above all, the need to love--unconditionally and absolutely.

“I'm not Catholic, but that doesn't mean I can't appreciate the nuggets of wisdom that Mother Teresa shares in this book. I think it's safe to say that there haven't been many people in the world who understand charity and love as much as she did.”
