Overview

De manos de un consejero de confianza y devoto amigo de la Madre Teresa, tenemos un extraordinario recuento de primera mano de la milagrosa mujer detrƔs de la santa.

Incluye imƔgenes hasta ahora desconocidas de la Madre Teresa.


La Madre Teresa fue una de las mujeres mĆ”s admiradas del siglo XX, y su recuerdo sigue inspirando labores caritativas por todo el mundo. Ella creĆ­a que la mĆ”s grande necesidad de un ser humano era amar y ser amado. En 1948 fundĆ³ los Misioneros de la Caridad para trabajar directamente con los mĆ”s pobres de Calcuta. A consecuencia del esfuerzo de una mujer adentrĆ”ndose por los barrios bajos de Entally, los Misioneros de la Caridad crecieron hasta convertirse en una organizaciĆ³n que operaba comedores, clĆ­nicas, hospicios y albergues en 139 paĆ­ses, sin ningĆŗn costo para el gobierno ni para quienes atendĆ­a. En 2016 se convirtiĆ³ en Santa Teresa de Calcuta.
Ā 
El autor Jim Towey fue abogado y funcionario de alto rango en el Congreso de Estados Unidos en la dĆ©cada de 1980, hasta que un breve encuentro con la Madre Teresa iluminĆ³ el vacĆ­o de su vida. Se ofreciĆ³ como voluntario en uno de sus comedores y usĆ³ sus habilidades legales y sus conexiones polĆ­ticas para ayudar a los Misioneros de la Caridad. Cuando la Madre Teresa sugiriĆ³ que cubriera algunos turnos en su hospicio para enfermos de SIDA, Towey descubriĆ³ el alcance de su propia vocaciĆ³n. Pronto dejĆ³ su trabajo y sus posesiones, y se convirtiĆ³ en voluntario de tiempo completo para la Madre Teresa. ViajĆ³ frecuentemente con ella, acordando sus reuniones con polĆ­ticos y manejando muchos de sus asuntos legales.
Ā 
Amar y ser amado es un recuento directo de los Ćŗltimos aƱos de la Madre Teresa y el primer libro en detallar su relaciĆ³n con los asuntos mundanos. La vemos navegar con gracia las oportunidades y los retos del liderazgo, los peligros de la fama, lo mismo que las humillaciones y los triunfos de envejecer. TambiĆ©n la observamos disfrutando un helado de chocolate, haciendo bromas sobre las minifaldas y diciĆ©ndole al presidente de Estados Unidos que se equivoca. Por encima de todo, vemos su extraordinaria devociĆ³n a Dios y los mĆ”s pobres de Sus hijos. La Madre Teresa le enseĆ±Ć³ a Towey a orar mĆ”s, a ser menos egoĆ­sta, mĆ”s humilde, menos frĆ­volo, a amar mĆ”s a Dios y menos a sĆ­ mismo. Sus enseƱanzas estĆ”n aquĆ­ para todos.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

From a trusted advisor and devoted friend of Mother Teresa comes an extraordinary firsthand account of the miraculous woman behind the saint.

The book includes unknown images of Mother Teresa.

Mother Teresa was one of the most admired women of the 20th century, and her memory continues to inspire charitable work around the world. She believed the greatest need of a human being is to love and be loved. In 1948, she founded the Missionaries of Charity to work directly with the very poorest of Calcutta. From the efforts of one woman entering the slums of Entally, the Missionaries of Charity grew into an organization operating soup kitchens, health clinics, hospices, and shelters in 139 countries, at no cost to any government or to those served. In 2016, she became Saint Teresa of Calcutta.
Ā 
Author Jim Towey had been a high-flying Congressional staffer and lawyer in the 1980s until a brief meeting with Mother Teresa illuminated the emptiness of his life. He began volunteering at one of her soup kitchens and using his legal skills and political connections to help the Missionaries of Charity. When Mother Teresa suggested he take shifts at her AIDS hospice, Towey realized he was all in. Soon, he gave up his job and possessions and became a full-time volunteer for Mother Teresa. He traveled with her frequently, arranged her meetings with politicians, and handled many of her legal affairs.
Ā 
To Love and Be Loved is a firsthand account of Mother Teresaā€™s last years, and the first book ever to detail her dealings with worldly matters. We see her gracefully navigate the opportunities and challenges of leadership, the perils of celebrity, and the humiliations and triumphs of aging. We also catch her indulging in chocolate ice cream, making jokes about mini-skirts, and telling the President of the United States heā€™s wrong. Above all, we see her extraordinary devotion to God and to the very poorest of His children. Mother Teresa taught Towey to be more prayerful, less selfish, more humble, less worldly, more in love with God, and less in love with himself. Her lessons are here for all to share.
