Mother Teresa by Nabin Chawla [Hardcover]

When the name "Mother Teresa" is mentioned, an image immediately comes to mind—a small, frail woman dressed in a white sari, spreading love and compassion to the poor, whether in the slums of Kolkata, the cardboard shelters of London, or the ghettos of New York under the shadow of the Vatican. Her extraordinary work has earned her respect and honor worldwide, including the highest awards—from the Nobel Peace Prize to the "Order of Merit" bestowed by Queen Elizabeth. She accepted all these honors on behalf of the poor, whom she and her Missionaries of Charity tirelessly served.
"I am nothing more than a pencil in God’s hand," she often said, "all these works are His." When she first began her mission, she had no resources and no clear roadmap of how to proceed—only her profound faith in God. With that faith, she built a vast organization that now spans over a hundred countries. Establishing shelters for the destitute, orphans, the disabled, those afflicted with leprosy, and the terminally ill, her core work still remains among the slums and on the dusty streets.
Author Navin Chawla has narrated Mother Teresa's story with profound sensitivity and a clear perspective. Having known her for many years, he had access to her rare papers and letters, and he held numerous conversations with her and her friends and supporters. Above all, he received her wholehearted cooperation. The result is an authentic biography of one of the most extraordinary women of our time. Now, this widely acclaimed English biography has been translated into Bengali, as a tribute of joy and reverence.
