In this Mother Teresa biography by David Scott, we meet the Mother Teresa that we would never have met simply from television interviews or news images. A complex figure, Mother Teresa found her life’s work only after years of false starts and by overcoming great practical difficulties. Her love for the poor was accompanied by a stern critique of the rich and powerful. And she lived much of her life in an anguished dark night of the soul. Discover the real Mother Teresa in this inspiring yet unsentimental biography of her life.

David Scott’s essays and reporting have appeared in L’Osservatore Romano, National Review, Commonweal, beliefnet.com, and elsewhere. He holds an advanced degree in religion and the Bible, and he was formerly editor of Our Sunday Visitor. Currently, he is editorial director for The St. Paul Center for Biblical Theology (www.SalvationHistory.com) and contributing editor to Godspy.com. He resides in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

Scott's book, more than any other, shows us the saint and her significance. A Revolution of Love belongs in the hands of everyone who loves this most beloved of modern women.
