FROM THE CRITICS
Library Journal
For many, Mother Teresa epitomized what it means to put faith into action. By the time of her death, her work was known worldwide. In Thirsting for God, her "private thoughts and spiritual insights" are here in hopes of offering sustenance to others. Listeners familiar with her work will remember she spent time among the "untouchables" in India. Her schedule and tasks were emotionally, physically, and spiritually grueling yet she found the determination to make a difference. Here she discusses her beliefs, fears, and anxieties, crediting her faith and spirituality with giving her the love and purpose to make an impact. Mother Teresa remains a beloved example and continues to appear on "most admired lists." Readers Lou Tartaglia and Father Angelo Scolozzi, both of whom spent time with Mother Teresa, see keeping her work alive as their duty. Recommended for public libraries with large religion collections.-Pam Kingsbury, Florence, AL

Lou Tartaglia has three goals: to tell Mother Teresa's story, to abstract clear lessons from her life serving the world's poor, and to give listeners a chance to hear Mother Teresa for themselves. Fortunately, these purposes overlap, and Tartaglia accomplishes all of them well. Some of the excerpts of Mother Teresa speaking in public have poor sound quality, and there is a fair amount of repetition. However, the repetition makes sense as Mother Teresa taught the same lessons of love and devotion to everyone. Her compassion, and her sense of humor, come through in these recordings, as does the love of those who worked with her, like Father Scolozzi. G.T.B. (c) AudioFile 2003, Portland, Maine
