| |  | General | Home » » » Mother Angelica: The Remarkable Story of a Nun, Her Nerve, and a Network of Miracles | | | | | | | Description: | | In 1981, a simple nun, using merely her entrepreneurial instincts and $200, launched what would become the world’s largest religious media empire in the garage of a Birmingham, Alabama, monastery. Under her guidance, the Eternal Word Television Network grew at a staggering pace, both in viewership and in influence, to where it now reaches over a hundred million viewers in hundreds of countries around the globe. Raymond Arroyo combines his journalist’s objectivity and eye for detail with more than five years of exclusive interviews with Mother Angelica. He traces Mother Angelica’s tortured rise to success and exposes for the first time the fierce opposition she faced, both outside and inside of her church. | | | Product Details: | | | Author:

Catholic PowerhouseSep 14, 2009 This book was so interesting that I read it in 2 days. Mother Angelica has to be one of the greatest and/or most influential Roman Catholics of the 20th/21st century. She has done a tremendous job in bringing Catholic programming to the world via TV and radio. She did a good job but certainly ran into obstacles including the Vatican, members of the Catholic clergy and her own health. But nothing seemed to stop the growth of EWTN and it has first class programming. She hasn't had an easy life either. Very interesting reading.
Mother Angelica: the remarkable story of a nun, her nerve, and a network of miraclesSep 03, 2009 I thought that this was truly an awesome & inspirational story of Mother Angelica. It was very interesting & not boring at all... actually a page-turner! I loved it & would recommend to anyone. She will go down in history as one of the 'great ones' of honest to goodness Catholicism.
