A 7 Days with Mother Teresa Free Audiobook Download by Donald Goergen
This book was a deeply moving experience, and I would recommend it to anyone who needs a refresher on the work of Mother Teresa. Goergen's narration made me feel as if I was experiencing this story first-hand, without being bogged down by cumbersome language or obscure metaphors.
This audiobook written by Donald Goergen is about his experience with Mother Teresa, the Nobel Peace Prize winner and founder of Missionaries of Charity. It begins with a 7 day trip to India in 1971 during which he decided to help her mission through volunteer work. While on the trip, he meets her and witnesses her life as a missionary. The story ends with his meeting with Mother Teresa just before she died.
"Mother Teresa was a woman of such loving, infinite compassion that she was able to soothe the most hardened criminal, offer solace in the most hopeless moments. She displayed an extraordinary capacity to forgive, to hold her hands out to the very poor and wretched who were rejected by their fellow mankind."
This audiobook is based on a short story written by Donald Goergen. It is an interesting listen as it includes the time Goergen spent with Mother Teresa in India, as well as other stories of her work. This is a quick and easy read, but it should be noted that the author's writing style can be a bit dry at times.
This audiobook was narrated by Donald Goergen and released on October 18, 1999. The subject of the book is Mother Teresa who has been praised as a saint. This audiobook tells the story of a man from America named Donald Goergen, who decided to go visit Mother Teresa in Calcutta for seven days.
What does it take to be a saint? Mother Teresa was not worldly, nor was she a devout Catholic. She was born in Skopje, Macedonia and spent most of her life in India. Mother Teresa began her work in 1950s when the country's need for help increased substantially after India became independent. The country that only had two hospitals before became desperate for relief when they had no more food to eat and no money to buy it with.
