A collection of Mother Teresa's spiritual counsels, edited by Georges Gorrée and Jean Barbier and published in 1982 by Harper & Row in the United States and by Collins in Britain (115 pages). Library records catalogue it under Christian life and the love of God. The editors gathered her words rather than her writing a book; the arrangement and sources of the passages are not described in the records consulted.
