"Mientras gozaba de su compañía, yo era lo mejor que podía ser. Vi la bondad que era capaz de vivir, como si su santidad se me pegara un poco. Hace un cuarto de siglo que se ha ido y aún me siento huérfano". --Jim Towey

La Madre Teresa fue una de las mujeres más admiradas del siglo XX y su memoria continúa inspirando a muchos alrededor del mundo, pues incluso una santa puede amar los chocolates, hacer bromas o regañar al presidente de los Estados Unidos. Esta fue la mujer a la que Jim Towey conoció a mediados de los noventa -- cuando era congre-sista y abogado de alto nivel--, la que iluminó el vacío que había en su vida. Durante más de una década, Towey viajó frecuentemente con ella, gestionó encuentros con políticos y donantes de Estados Unidos, y manejó muchos de sus asuntos legales y personales.

Amar y ser amado es su recuento de esos años, un libro en el que veremos la dimensión más humana de la Madre Teresa, pero sobre todo su extraordinaria devoción a Dios y a sus hijos más pobres.

La Madre Teresa nutrió el alma de Towey hasta hacerla renacer. Le enseñó a orar más, a ser menos egoísta, más humilde, a estar más enamorado de Dios y menos de sí mismo. Esas son las enseñanzas que están en estas páginas para que todos las recibamos.

De manos de un consejero de confianza y devoto amigo de la Madre Teresa, tenemos un extraordinario recuento de primera mano de la milagrosa mujer detrás de la santa.

Incluye imágenes hasta ahora desconocidas de la Madre Teresa.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

From a trusted advisor and devoted friend of Mother Teresa comes an extraordinary firsthand account of the miraculous woman behind the saint.

The book includes unknown images of Mother Teresa.

Mother Teresa was one of the most admired women of the 20th century, and her memory continues to inspire charitable work around the world. She believed the greatest need of a human being is to love and be loved. In 1948, she founded the Missionaries of Charity to work directly with the very poorest of Calcutta. From the efforts of one woman entering the slums of Entally, the Missionaries of Charity grew into an organization operating soup kitchens, health clinics, hospices, and shelters in 139 countries, at no cost to any government or to those served. In 2016, she became Saint Teresa of Calcutta.

Author Jim Towey had been a high-flying Congressional staffer and lawyer in the 1980s until a brief meeting with Mother Teresa illuminated the emptiness of his life. He began volunteering at one of her soup kitchens and using his legal skills and political connections to help the Missionaries of Charity. When Mother Teresa suggested he take shifts at her AIDS hospice, Towey realized he was all in. Soon, he gave up his job and possessions and became a full-time volunteer for Mother Teresa. He traveled with her frequently, arranged her meetings with politicians, and handled many of her legal affairs.

To Love and Be Loved is a firsthand account of Mother Teresa's last years, and the first book ever to detail her dealings with worldly matters. We see her gracefully navigate the opportunities and challenges of leadership, the perils of celebrity, and the humiliations and triumphs of aging. We also catch her indulging in chocolate ice cream, making jokes about mini-skirts, and telling the President of the United States he's wrong. Above all, we see her extraordinary devotion to God and to the very poorest of His children. Mother Teresa taught Towey to be more prayerful, less selfish, more humble, less worldly, more in love with God, and less in love with himself. Her lessons are here for all to share.

A lot of useless skipping around...
Format: Kindle
So, I really enjoy the underlying story, but I really wish the writing was cleaned up. There were so many little sections, a few paragraphs to a few pages that were bouncing all over the place. And while some sort of moved the plot along, the vast majority were just filler. It would have been significantly more fluid if events were portrayed through characters experiences, than just having narration about everything happening all over. In addition, I know this is a web novel, and they tend to be written chapter by chapter. This, painfully, results in less cohesion from start to middle to end. The story ends up feeling choppy, and the overall arc throughout the book suffers. In fact, over >700 pages and we really didn't make a ton of headway until ~60% of the way through the book. That's when things really started. The majority before was fluff and filler. Useful, but only once distilled and refined. I'm really hoping that for future books, Shirtaloon spends some time really thinking what is critical for the plot, and how to incorporate as much of that plot progression through the lenses of the characters in lieu of just narrating pages and pages of stuff. For example, instead of spending 100s of pages on mentioning all the places in the world crumbling from infighting and corruption, instead portray that through the character. It reads so much better, and ends up being more concise, and allows for opportunities for further character development all while building the world. I love more story, but I'd prefer reading a 700 page story. Not a 400 page story in 700 pages. Let's make all the pages matter.

Another Good One in the Bag
Format: Kindle
Love the change this adventure keeps taking. We go from our LitFantasy to a comic book adventure. One of the most interesting LIT tales I have read so far. The adventure continues to hold you captured and throws in a few twist. Didn’t see those 3 making an appearance in the Reapers Realm. But, no other spoilers, just read it; it’s definitely worth reading!!! Cheers 🍻 Peace ✌🏾 & Love ❤️

I love this series
Format: Kindle
I interesting powers and a funny yet cynical main character who loves smack talk and confusing everyone around him , friends included , Jason from the very first book is just thrown into the deep end and told to swim or die , in this book he's back in his world and has to save it and empower his family while protecting them from everybody around them , allies and enemies alike . It's hilarious when Jason decides to mess with people or his own family , it's a serious book as well and lots of action, he's just trying to be what he needs to be for his family and his world , while also trying to leave it a better place before he moves on the the other world he was dumped in , In his eyes he's only back on Earth to fix mistakes and leave his family better off than when he left them , oh and the world too lol . Read it from the first book to the next one in the series , you won't be disappointed, I wasn't, trust me these books are worth it .
