Something Beautiful for God Paperback – August 26, 2003

A deeply moving piece of writing, perhaps not for everyone

This little book is full of gracious wisdom. Malcolm Muggeridge pondered deeply the life and work of Mother Theresa as he saw her serving the destitute and dying in India. Everyone with a heart for the poor and those who have no voice should read his book, slowly and contemplatively - it has the power to change one's perspective on many things, particularly in this age of 'fast everything'. The copy I received was well used I think, somewhat yellowed! But we have passed it on to our son and he is loving it, yellow or not.

One of my favourite books of all time, on one of my favourite people of all time. A candid, honest (could it be anything less) and illuminating dialogue between two people searching for an understanding of GOD. Though both are on very different path's, their shared humanity, desire to know and intimately connect with and experience a complex GOD has resulted in a very moving and inspiring work. Questioning and doubt are OK, GOD is not too small to meet us at our point of need, and to fill us with a love and compassion for others.

Having grown up in the UK, I knew of Malcom Muggeridge. He was a brilliant scholar and was on many programs on the BBC, including the "Brain's Trust" which had people like Aldous Huxley and others- trully eminent scholars all of them. Muggeridge came across as a pompous, erudite, snob of the highest order and as time went on, he showed one and all that he was an agnostic, who didn't need religion and Christ in his life.Our wee Mother Theresa changed all that and this little book, shows how powerful God can be, working through little Saints, like Mother Theresa.Malcom became Mother Theresa's biggest fan and converted to Catholicism later on-a trully inspiring book.

This is the first book I am reading from Malcom but it is so inspiring and interesting especially the interview that Malcom had with Mother Theresa is outstanding. The language is bit tough though the interview part is so simple. Overall I recommend this book to everyone who aspire an outer look change.

This book captures Christianity in its truest and best form. A must-read for anyone who wonders about the disconnect between God and the church. It was very warm :)

Beautiful book that made me love Mother Teresa even more. I only wish there was more about this beautiful saint. But Malcolm Muggeridge's writings framing the information about Mother Teresa were quite well written.

This view of St Mother Teresa presented by Muggeridge was very moving. It provided insight into her personality and faith that leaves no doubt as to why the Catholic Church has declared her to be a saint. Very few people could achieve the total giving of self in service to God as she did, but it gives those who want to serve a goal to strive for.
