Book Reviews of Total Surrender: Mother Teresa
Book Review: You only getting more God if you go the way by yourself
Summary: 5 Stars
What can you possibly say about such a book?
Maybe the interesting thing is that it is really a book with a specific message. What i mean with this is after reading some other books seeing Biography etc. I expected somehow the "same stuff" just presented slightly diffrently. Yet the concepts are not that much which you can present on the topic of love,Devotionj etc. this book shoots direct to the core of it. Sometime i felt that there is not one single sentence in this book which would be too much!
If you are intrested in surrender your life to God no matter from which path you came this book will be of such an assistance to you! This book is beyond religion and contains 110% Devotion and Love. Here some excerpts and comments in general:
Total surrender consits in giving ourselves completely to God
Why must we give ourselves fully to God?
Because God has given himself to us.
If God, who owes nothing to us
is ready to impart to us no less than himself,
shall we answer with just a fraction of ourselves?
To give ourselves fully to God is a means of receiving God himself.
I live for God and give up my own self
and in this way induce God to live for me.
Therefore, to possess God, we must allow him to possesss our souls.
How poor we would be if God hat not given us the power of giving ourselves to him.
How rich we are now!
How easy it is to conquer God!
We give ourselves to God;
then God is ours,
and there can nothing more ours than God.
The money with which God repays our surrender is
himself.
"Total surrender probes beyond the popular image of Mother Teresa to the very heart of her spiritual life and vision. In her won words, Mother Teresa tells of the simple joy of following Jesus and surrendering fully to him. Her life of radical poverty and wholehearted dedication to the poorest of the poor forms the heart of this inspiring surrender to God and those most in need.
It is part of the genius of Mother Teresa that she finds way
"The sisters must be consumed eith one desire: Jesus.
Speak of no one but him crucified
We must not be afraid to do the things he did
to go fearlessly through death and danger
with him and for him
The missionary must die daily, if she wants to bring souls to God
She must be ready to pay the price he paid for souls
wo walk in the way he walked
Put your heart into being a bright light
"Help me to shed thy fragrance everywhere I go"
Let the poor, seeing you, be drawn to Christ.
Poverty makes people very bitter
and they speak and act without realizing what they do.
But do they remember Christ when they see you
- even if they get angry-
because you remind them of Christ?
Draw them to God but never, never to yourself.
If you are not drawing them to God,
then are are seeking yourself
and people love you for yourself
and not because you remind them of Christ.
"...be able to give all to Jesus"
"I'm just the pencil and God does the writing"
I always wanted to serve the poor - purely for the love of God
We must be able to radiate the joy of Christ
They (the poor) have been unwanted all their life - We want them make feel that at the end somebody loves them and somebody cares for them
They have lifed life like animals but they die like angels
Our greatest love goes out to the oorest of the poor
Jesus said very clearly: "Whatever you do to the least of me that you are doing to me"
"She loved people no matter what" Sir Cliff Richard
