Synopsis: An authorized biography describes Mother Teresa's mission of faith and the principles that guide her, along with anecdotes about her effect on the world, from peace-making efforts with heads of state to her prayers for a dying child. $25,000 ad/promo.

Review: First published in Great Britain in 1992, this biography--"hagiography" is a more appropriate term--includes many letters and rare photographs which provide a graphic and moving portrait of the Albanian nun whose work among the poorest of the poor in Calcutta has earned her worldwide acclaim, along with the Nobel Peace Prize. The order founded by Mother Teresa, the Missionaries of Charity, now operates 456 centers in more than 100 countries, feeding half a million families each year. The book does not probe Mother Teresa's theology or question the order's priorities, but it does provide a full account of this remarkable woman's devotion.
