The Poorest of the Poor: A Call Within a Call
She Heard God's Voice on a Train. She Spent Fifty Years Answering It in the Dark. Most people know the image: the small woman in the white-and-blue sari, lifting the dying from the gutters of Calcutta, receiving a Nobel Prize with calloused hands folded in prayer.
Read the full description
But behind the icon was a woman, a girl from Skopje who left everything, a young sister who heard something extraordinary on an ordinary train ride, a founder who built a global mission while carrying a hidden spiritual darkness so profound it would have silenced most souls forever. The Poorest of the Poor: A Call Within a Call is the deeply human, reverently told story of Mother Teresa, not the statue, but the woman. A portrait that begins in the highlands of Albania, follows her into the heat and suffering of India, and traces every extraordinary step of a life lived in radical, costly, luminous love. This is the Mother Teresa readers sense is there but rarely get to meet: the founder on her knees, the saint in the shadows, the woman who loved the world one dying stranger at a time.
