By: Malcolm Muggeridge

In celebration of Mother Teresa's beatification in October of 2003, HarperOne is proud to present a new edition of the classic work that introduced Mother Teresa to the Western world. Something Beautiful for God interprets her life through her conversations with Malcolm Muggeridge, the quintessential worldly skeptic who experienced a remarkable conversion to Christianity because of her exemplary influence. He hails her as a "light which could never be extinguished."

No woman of our time has inspired so many with her simplicity of faith and compassion. As she daily embraced the “least of the least” in her arms, the founder of a religious order, recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize and candidate for sainthood became known the world over for her work with the sick and the dying. Before her death in 1997, Mother Theresa challenged the whole world to greater acts of service and understanding in the name of love.

Something Beautiful for God was first published in 1971, and introduced Mother Theresa to the Western world. As timely now as it was then, Something Beautiful for God interprets her life through the eyes of Malcolm Muggeridge, a modern-day skeptic who became literally transformed within her presence, describing her as “a light which could never be extinguished.”

Malcolm Muggeridge (1903 - 1990) was a world-renowned author, lecturer, and broadcaster.

“If we took her seriously as a manifestation of the possible-not as the saintly exception that proves the rule of self-interest-we would be forced to review our aims and values. Muggeridge’s work makes it clear that she’s just a simple Christian woman with common sense and uncommon faith; we are the geniuses of amorality.” -Christian Century
