Mother Angelica by Raymond Arroyo

Mother Angelica by Raymond Arroyo

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.

Raymond Arroyo is an award-winning journalist, producer, and New York Times bestselling author who is seen in over 250 million households around the world every week. Arroyo has interrogated the world's biggest leaders, including President George W. Bush, Mel Gibson, and Pope Benedict XVI (the only English-language interview ever done with the Pontiff), as host and creator of EWTN's international news magazine The World Over Live. He has worked for the Associated Press, Evans and Novak, a political columnist duo, and as a Capitol Hill Reporter. All five of Arroyo's books have debuted on the New York Times Bestseller List, including the biographical Mother Angelica (Doubleday) and Of Thee I Zing (Simon and Schuster). Truth and Life (Zondervan) and The Word of Promise (Thomas Nelson) are two bestselling, all-star audio Bibles produced by Arroyo.

He's also created Christmas specials for PBS and makes frequent radio and cable appearances to discuss culture and Christianity. He was a CNN Contributor during the 2013 Conclave, and his works have featured in The Wall Street Journal, Newsweek, The New Yorker, and other publications.
