She Made Me Laugh - Stephanie Emmons

Most people likely know of Mother Teresa&rsquo;s great faithfulness to God&rsquo;s call as she started her ministry to the poor in Calcutta. But at the time, few knew that she had lost all sense of God&#39;s presence, love, and sometimes the assurance that God existed at all. Astonishingly, for 50 years, the saint&#39;s life was spent in what she called &quot;the darkness.&quot; Yet, somehow Mother Teresa managed to get up every morning and say yes to God. And not only did she say yes, she came to accept the darkness, while also allowing a sense of humor and even playfulness to shine through. This book is a memoir of the author&rsquo;s direct experiences with Mother Teresa during a trip to Calcutta in 1996 when she discovered that sense of humor first hand. It is also an extended reflection on the beloved saint&rsquo;s &ldquo;dark night of the soul&rdquo; and what that might mean for spiritual seekers today.<BR /> &#160;
