    About this ebook

    In a tumultuous and ever-changing world, it seems that it is becoming more difficult to find a life of meaning and service that can rise above the noise and distractions of the selfish times in which we live.

    Find Your Own Calcutta brings to light the great example of Mother Teresa and others who have found a life of joy and meaning in reaching out to those in need. They are simple examples we can all follow in finding our true calling in the service of others.
