MOVIE REVIEW: Mother Teresa
It is not very often that I write about movies, mainly because there are so few worth writing about, but this evening my wife and I watched a film that I was compelled to recommend to as many people as possible.
Mother Teresa starring Olivia Hussey portrays the life work of Mother Teresa of Calcutta in a moving and powerful way. This movie stirred up in me all those desires to live for Christ, to give without counting the cost, and to love all. Watching this film, my wife and I both expressed our own feelings of inadequacy as well as our desire to do more for Jesus.
I highly recommend this movie to all of you. In an age when we are bombarded with tons of movies to stimulate all of our senses it is truly refreshing to find one that strikes at the heart and calls us to a greater imitation of Christ.
If you don't want to buy this film, I have seen it available at Blockbuster Video on the new release self. Enjoy!
In Christ,
Joe

Thanks! for the review. I haven't seen "Mother Teresa" yet (it's been on the "to rent" list for awhile), but I caught "The Nativity Story" tonight, and it was pretty awesome.

channel surfing around 2 am, and was blessed with probably the most moving media experience since i've seen The Passion.
