{"product_id":"the-calling-katie-mccloskey-9780595707836","title":"The Calling: Stories and Reflections from Working with Mother Teresa and the Missionaries of Charity in Calcutta, India","description":"Katie McCloskey was forever changed by the privilege of working under Mother Teresa, one of history's great humanitarians, and the sisters of the Missionaries of Charity, attending to God's poor, the needy, the lonely, and the abandoned. In her tours of service in India, Katie, along with her fellow volunteers, found her own life transformed as she helped uplift the lives of others. \u003cp\u003eIn this vivid, compelling account of her time in Calcutta, Katie offers anyone with an open heart the means to share in the exuberance one can find in even the most horrifying of circumstances. Her stories illuminate how closeness to human beings who are neglected and discarded is closeness to God. To be sure, Katie learned that \"only God could give us the courage, the perseverance, and the grace we needed to serve the poorest of the poor,\" but Mother Teresa and the sisters showed her how a personal commitment to others is a path to genuine joy and true self-fulfillment.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWhether we journey to India or simply serve our family and community, \u003ci\u003eThe Calling\u003c\/i\u003e shows how we can use our love, skills, time, and talents to renew not just the lives of others but also our own.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Katie McCloskey\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0595707831\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780595707836\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e iUniverse\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/23\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 352\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.48lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.94d","brand":"Katie McCloskey","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44059390050559,"sku":"9780595707836","price":33.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3871f96e-46e2-4479-aae3-95e2287e1e0f.jpg?v=1685057937","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-calling-katie-mccloskey-9780595707836","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
