Story4.5 out of 5 stars 82
An unforgettable spiritual autobiography about a search for meaning that begins alongside one of the great religious icons of our time and ends with a return to the secular world. At seventeen, Mary Johnson saw Mother Teresa’s face on the cover of Time and experienced her calling. Eighteen months later, she entered a convent in the South Bronx to begin her religious training. Not without difficulty, this bright, independent-minded Texas teenager eventually adapted to the sisters’ austere life of poverty and devotion, and in time became close to Mother Teresa herself.

George Muller stared at the beggar girl. She was no older than five and was piggybacking her little brother. Her mother had died in the cholera epidemic sweeping England. Her father had never returned from the mines. Standing in the muddy street, this little girl gave a face to Bristol's countless orphans. With scarcely enough food or money for his own family, George Muller opened his heart and home. Sustained by God's provision, the Muller house "Breakfast Club" of thirty orphans grew to five large houses that ultimately over ten thousand children would call home.

A fascinating tale!
What did you love best about Mail Order Bride?
One of my favorite things in this story was Elizabeth's tender heart, with her sister nuns, her attitude toward her horses, and her loving manner in hearing Colton's heart-wrenching tale of losing his family.
What does Joe Smith bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
I particularly liked how Mr. Smith read The Prodigal Son passage in the Bible. Even though I've read and heard this parable dozens of times, Mr. Smith's dramatic reading made it feel as if I were that prodigal child, being forgiven by my Father, no matter how many times I have failed or disappointed Him. Praise God!
