About the Book
While the good works of Mother Teresa have been universally admired, the books of her writings released to date have spoken primarily to practicing Christians, specifically Catholics. Everything Starts from Prayer: Mother Teresa’s Meditations on Spiritual Life for People of All Faiths (with foreword by Larry Dossey, M.D.) is the first selection of her writings that addresses the omnipresent importance of prayer for all people—regardless of religion, nationality, or ethnicity.
Compiler Anthony Stern, M.D. has selected and arranged Mother Teresa’s inspirational prayer teachings into six distinct meditative stages on the spiritual life, integrating silence, love, faith, and service. Each section presents a building block to further our understanding of Mother Teresa’s approach to the art of prayer. Taken as a whole, the book not only provides an inspirational introduction to prayer but also offers new insights into the teachings of this universally loved and revered spiritual teacher.
