Info: Copyright 1991 Harper San Francisco
Where acquired: Purchased at public library book sale.
Why: I've never had the privilege of reading any of Mother Teresa's books. I saw this one at the book sale and took the opportunity to buy it very inexpensively.
Rating (on a scale of 1-4 hashtags): # # # 1/2
What it's about: The authors share reflections on their own prayer times and encourage others of the benefits of prayer.
Favorite Quotes:
"Your faith does not create God, and your doubts cannot banish Him to nothingness." - p. 17
"Living intensely each present day means letting Christ dwell in you. His words are so clear: "Today, I would like to enter your home." - p. 23
What I Liked:
- The chapters did not read like an instruction manual, but as glowing homilies straight from the hearts of the authors.
- The chapters were short, but packed with plenty to ponder.
- Though I like the fact that the chapters were short, the book itself ended too quickly. I was hungry for more at the end.
- The authors quoted a lot of Scripture, but there were no references given as to what passage they were referencing. If a person not familiar with the Bible were reading this, he wouldn't know that these quotes were even from the Bible.
