My Journey With Mother Teresa Sharing a Saintly Woman's Last Missions

My Journey with Mother Teresa is a fascinating firsthand glimpse into the ministry of the late Mother Teresa. Jones' journey begins when she arrives at Mother Teresa’s Missionaries of Charity in Harlem, New York. There she begins to learn of the cruel realities of inner-city living as 100 homeless, starving people are fed. Mother Teresa became the author’s hero and, hearing her call, Jones moved on to Mother Teresa’s other enclaves. She served at Mother Teresa’s Gift of Love House in San Francisco for homeless men dying of AIDS, at orphanages for newborns in Washington, D.C., and at her charities in Paris and Amsterdam before finally meeting and praying with the saintly woman at her home in San Diego, California. In her quest, Jones finds that Mother Teresa’s influence is like a fire whose flame only grows brighter. My Journey With Mother Teresa takes readers on a remarkable yet humbling journey of self-discovery and humanitarianism while providing a unique insider's view into the world of the late Mother Teresa and her teachings.
