With the crazy schedule of a student, it is very difficult to find any time for enjoyable reading. Throughout college, I have started numerous books, read about 100 pages, and never finish. I never can find time to finish. So maybe if I write about the book I'm trying to read right now it may encourage me to keep going for once, even amidst my most hectic semester. In January, on my most recent trip to Hawaii, I started reading Come Be My Light which features letters written by Mother Teresa. Although I have only made it to page 103, as following my reading curse, I really enjoy this book.
So far through the first hundred pages it has pretty much just been Mother Teresa writing to a priest to get permission to start a mission in Calcutta. She faced much opposition to her God-given dream of serving the poor in India, and even after a hundred pages, her dream has not even been started. So it has been a slow start to the book, but the life lessons that are strewn throughout the letter so far, are amazing to read.
From what I can tell so far from the book, I would absolutely recommend it if you are interested in spirituality. However, patience is a virtue that is taught through this book as it has a very slow story line, and so far, is not very action packed. But I love to read the actual letters of Mother Teresa; they are truly inspiring.
