I Loved this book. Mother Teresa was so inspiring and motivated me to “do something beautiful for God”. As a nurse , I appreciated Mother Teresa’s efforts with her humanitarian assistance by getting clean water and helping providing medicine to the leprosy colony.

Mother Teresa was a woman called to help people, she was humble and devoted to God and her cause.
Born in the Ottoman Empire in 1910 in a christian home, her family was devout christian and generous to others. During her teenage years she started to feel the call to dedicate her life to God and help people in India.

After a year in Ireland with the Sister of Loreta to learn english she left for India where she will spend the rest of her life and found the Missionaries of Charity now operating all over the world.

This was a very interesting book about her legacy, I wanted to know more about her life, it's so inspiring.

"There could be no life prayer without silence. Silence of the eyes, the ears, the mouth. Silence let prayer lead to love and kindnes. Love led humility. Humility brought joy of serving God.”

My husband and I read this before bedtime over many weeks. Mother Teresa has always been saint-like to me, and I enjoyed reading how her ministry to the poorest of the poor came to be. What an amazing life! I loved the ending where she goes to be with Jesus!

I received this book from the publisher via net galley in exchange for an honest review. Four stars.

I LOVED this book on Mother Teresa! I have always loved her and knew she loved Jesus deeply. This book on her life, how she started and how it ended, ended with her traveling to Jesus, was a beautiful one of a most humble, beautiful, generous and kind woman. She did it all for Jesus. I am not Catholic, but admire Mother Teresa so much. She finally was able to rest from her labors. Jesus met her as she was going home. I recommend to all, especially those who are Catholic and anyone who just loved Mother Teresa or just wants to read an uplifting life story. Thank you to #NetGalley , the publishers, Barbour Publishing, and to the author, for the opportunity to read and review #ExtraordinaryLove with my honest thoughts and opinions.

Great biography of Saint Mother Teresa. Well written and engaging, easy to read. This included some information I have not heard before (and I've read a lot about Saint Mother Teresa and have had the pleasure of working with her sisters). Overall good read and engaging.

This novelized biography of Mother Teresa is a pure delight to read. Nurtured from childhood, her gift of strong faith and desire for giving, became her lifelong mission – to serve others for Jesus. Mother Teresa’s legacy is an inspiration to all of humanity.

Thank you to NetGalley and Barbour Publishing, Barbour Books for the read of Sam Wellman’s, Extraordinary Love, The Story of Mother Teresa.

This was a book that was hard to put down, considering I only read it at night-time. It was very interesting in learning more about Mother Teresa. I always had respect for her, but never knew the troubles she went through. This begins when she was only 5 years old, so you go through her whole life. You also see how God worked in her life. She had a very deep and strong faith in our Lord. We need to be more like that. She never stopped growing in her Mission work. I consider this a 5+ star. There are only 14 chapters, she that makes it easy to read. A must read for all who call themselves Christian.
