NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - "In this dramatic page-turner, Raymond
Arroyo has captured the life and lessons of Mother Angelica, a woman who
may well be the patron saint of CEOs."--Lee Iacocca, The Iacocca Family
Foundation, former CEO of the Chrysler Corporation
In 1981, a simple nun, using merely her entrepreneurial instincts and
two hundred dollars, launched what would become the world's largest
religious media empire. In the garage of a Birmingham, Alabama,
monastery, the Eternal Word Television Network grew at a staggering pace
under her guidance. Mother Angelica (1923-2016) remains on the air,
offering faith-filled advice, hope, and laughter to her audience through
rebroadcasts of her original homilies. Raymond Arroyo, through more than
five years of exclusive interviews with Mother Angelica, traces her
tortuous rise to success and exposes for the first time the fierce
opposition she faced, both outside and inside her church.
