Description
Publisher's Description of Teresa of Calcutta / Watson (Sowers)
Letters from missionaries inspired her to minister to the “poorest of the poor.”

 

Serving the Poorest of the Poor Agnes and her family lived in Macedonia in eastern Europe. Agnes eagerly read letters by missionaries from faraway places. She especially enjoyed the letters from Calcutta, India.    Eventually Agnes arrived in Calcutta where she taught young, well-to-do girls. They knew her as Sister Teresa. Unsatisfied, Teresa searched for her calling in life. One day she decided to work with "the poorest of the poor." She conducted her first class in a public park. Only five street children attended. Despite the hardships, she stayed with the work. She knew that God had sent her to care for these people who had no one else to love them.    Teresa dressed in a simple white sari with a blue border. A safety pin held a cross at her left shoulder. She became a familiar sight in the slum streets of Calcutta.     Teresa not only helped the poor, she became one of them. She told the girls she trained, "We will pattern our lives after their poverty. We are poor by choice. We want to be poor like Christ, who, being rich, chose to be born and live and work among the poor."

Category Description for Sowers Series Biographies

We often hear the opinion expressed that Christians should not bring their personal faith into their public lives. Fortunately for the world, the men and women portrayed in the Sower Series Biographies did not believe this. For instance, on the day after he took command of the Continental Army, George Washington issued an order forbidding profanity and requiring attendance at divine services. Isaac Newton, Robert Boyle, and Louis Pasteur, some of the foremost scientists of their day, used their work to glorify God. At a time when our young people need heroes, these books present faithful Christians who made an impact on their world.
