Such a wonderful book to walk through during the season of Lent. Saint Teresa of Calcutta possessed such a humble manner and was able to convey so much wisdom to those willing to listen.

Broken into small parts to be read on a daily basis, this is a devotional I plan to use again in future Lents.

I have been using this book for about 10 days now and have found that it's the perfect Lent companion. With a bible verse, a reflection on Mother Theresa's life (because anecdotes about her life are always amazing and inspirational), a real life application and then a chance to ruminate on the lessons in a way that's similar to the Examen. All this in just a few pages; perfect for a mother trying to fit in a 5am prayer and reflections session before the children wake up to start the day!

As a non Roman Catholic with an interest in Saint Teresa this book was still mainly accessible to me. The only things I found hard to agree with were the prayers going through the Saint and some of the readings were from Wisdom or not included in the usual bibles ie both Esther (Chapter C) and Daniel 3 had readings into the 90s.
The book has readings for all the liturgical years so can be used every year and I feel sure you would gain from using it for several years.
Overall a great reader for Lent and I recommend it.
