Mother Angelica
Category: Biography
Author: Raymond Arroyo
Copyright/published Year: 2005 by Doubleday
ISBN: 0385510926
Binding: Cloth
In 1981, the year after Ted Turner founded CNN, a simple nun
using her entrepreneurial instincts and $200 for seed money,
launched what would become the world's largest religious media
empire in the garage of a Birmingham, Alabama monastery. Today,
EWTN offers twenty-four hours of English and Spanish television
programming reaching 105 million viewers around the globe. How
did a crippled nun achieve so much and reach so many?
Born Rita Rizzo in Canton, Ohio, in 1923, Mother Angelica was
abandoned by her father and raised in poverty by a mother who
suffered suicidal depressions. Awakened to the power of prayer,
she vowed to dedicate her life to God and become a cloistered
nun. She expected to spend her life hidden from the world. But
Rita's faith compelled her to unlikely endeavors, accomplishing
what the highest echelon of the Catholic Church could not.
Raymond Arroyo's engrossing biography traces Mother Angelica's
tortured rise to success and exposes for the first time the
fierce opposition she faced, inside and outside of her church. It
is an inspiring story of survival and proof that one woman's
faith can move more than mountains.
