About this work
A Simple Path gathers the spiritual teaching of Mother Teresa into a short, plain guide to a life of service. Its structure is a chain: silence leads to prayer, prayer to faith, faith to love, love to service, and service to peace. Stripped of complexity, it distills a life given wholly to the poor into a handful of clear steps.
