Description: 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.

Review Summary: The Power of Prayer |
Date: 2008-01-17 |

Details: Mother Teresa reminds us of the power that is compacted in prayer. Prayer is perhaps the most powerful of all spiritual treatments and in this book, Mother Teresa reminds us that all our activity is governed by and made better by the power that flows through prayer.
Wonderful book filled with meaningful and easy to incorporate prayers that really do make a difference in your day and life. Just beautiful.

Review Summary: You'll almost feel as if Mother Teresa is speaking to you directly! |

Details: I've long known that a book's length doesn't guarantee
that it will be worth reading . . . such is the case
with EVERYTHING STARTS FROM PRAYER: MOTHER
TERESA'S MEDITATIONS ON SPIRITUAL LIFE FOR PEOPLE
OF ALL FAITHS by Anthony Stern.
It is short, but oh so powerful . . . and as the subtitle implies, it
is applicable for people of any faith.
As I was reading it, I kept having to pause to think about
Mother Teresa was saying . . . it was almost as if she were
talking to me directly!
For example, when I'm in a lazy mood, these words always
inspire me:
Yesterday is gone.
Tomorrow has not yet come.
We have only today.
Let us begin.
Almost every page contained some other tidbit that I'll want to refer
to again--and again . . . to cite just a few others:
* There is much suffering in the world-
very much. And this material suffering
is suffering from hunger, suffering from
homelessness, from all kinds of diseases, but
I still think the greatest suffering is being
lonely, feeling unloved, just having no one.
* Examine your heart first, though,
to see if there is any lack of forgiveness
of others still inside, because how can we ask
God for forgiveness if we cannot forgive
others?
* It is so easy to be proud, harsh, moody
and selfish, but we have been created for
greater things; why stoop down to things
that will spoil the beauty of our hearts?
And, lastly, there's this one which is one of
my all-time favorites:
* We can do no great things-only small things with great love.

Review Summary: Simple yet deep |

Details: Everything starts with prayer means everything we do should begin with a prayer: an interview, house hunting, the day, a quick drive to the store, an exam. Such a deceptively simple title yet so profound. To start every 'thing' we do with a prayer - of help, thanks, or guidance - surely can only be wonderful for us and Him. |
