Mother Teresa: Come Be My Light: The Private Writings of the Saint of Calcutta by Mother Teresa, Brian Kolodiejchuk

4.0

The premise of the book is really great. The reader sees a side of Mother Teresa that she simply never let show. She suffered many dark afflictions, and it is clear through her letters that she found solace only through religion and service. The presentation of her letters makes me wonder if she could have used more support, although it is clear she did get some. She was a strong woman and this book only further emphasizes that.

The only real problem I had with the book, and why I give it a 4 rather than a 5, is that it gets quite repetitive. I understand that her problems were the same for a very long time, but that does not necessarily make for a good book. There are a lot of gems in her writing, but I feel the editor did not present it in the best way.
