At the Home for the Dying in Calcutta, Mother Teresa often cared for the residents as they approached the end. As she was ministering to one illness-ravaged man, a visitor overheard her whisper a few words to him. These few words embody some of Mother Teresa’s most wonderful wisdom. This is what she said: You say a prayer in your religion, and I will say a prayer as I know it. Together we will say this prayer and it will be something beautiful for God.

Mother Teresa (1910-1997) was one of the most important religious figures of the 20th century. She founded the Missionaries of Charity in Calcutta, India, was winner of the Noble Prize for Peace, and was described during her lifetime as "the most powerful woman in the world. She dedicated her life to serving the poorest of the poor."
"Mother Teresa was on of the great spiritual servants of our era, whose simple wisdom expressed untold depths of devotion. In this treasury of her thoughts on prayer, she offers the world another blessing." President Jimmy Carter, author of Living Faith
Using this book on prayer, please remember that Mother Teresa always prayed with her actions, her life. Mind, speech, and body in perfect oneness, that is the solid ground of authentic meditation. The moment you start praying that way, peace, love, and transformation begin to take place, within yourself and around you. You do not have to wait for the result in the future Mother Teresa says: the fruit of prayer is faith, love, service, and peace. All of these take place in the present moment. Enjoy praying with her. Thich Nhat Hanh, author of Living Buddha, Living Christ
"Mother Teresa's life was a living prayer. Her words remind us of her connection with God and how all of us can reach Him as she did." Marianne Williamson, author of Illuminated Prayers
"This book's contents and its title say it all. Whatever you are looking for starts with prayer. Hopefully you will read and learn that true prayer is not about personal desires, needs, or religions. Mother Teresa is a role model for each of us. Pray we may become what she was, and heal the world by using prayer to lead us on the path to spirituality and God." Bernie Siegel, M.D., author of Love, Medicine and Miracles
With the publication of Everything Starts from Prayer, Mother Teresa continues to bless us from beyond the grave. These kernels of truths fro the nun of Calcutta provide food for the soul. Her messages, though short on words, are deep in wisdom and spiritual insight, and hold meaning for people of all faiths. Most Reverend Anthony M. Pilla, Bishop of Cleveland, President, National Conference of Catholic Bishops
"A jewel of a bookEverything Starts from Prayer is a must for believers of all faiths and for seekers everywhere." Maurice Friedman, author of The Wisdom of the Heart: Religion and Human Wholeness
Dr. Sterns editorial hand is sure and judicious; the selection of material reveals the mystical realization behind Mother Teresas powerful encomium to prayer in an all-inclusive sense. Thus, the passages are not only spiritually inspiring (as one would, of course, expect), but intellectually compelling as well. Well done. Lou Nordstrom, American Zen Teacher, White Plum lineage
Somewhere, Mother Teresa must be smiling. Larry Dossey, from the Foreword to Everything Starts from Prayer -- Publisher Comments
