Mother Angelica: The Remarkable Story of a Nun, Her Nerve, and a Network of Miracles 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

Mother Angelica is the astonishing true story of a cloistered nun who, with only $200 and fierce faith, built the world’s largest religious media empire. In 1981, from the garage of a Birmingham, Alabama monastery, she founded the Eternal Word Television Network (EWTN) — a global Catholic network that continues to broadcast her homilies and teachings today.

Raymond Arroyo, through five years of exclusive interviews with Mother Angelica herself, tells the gripping tale of her spiritual courage, entrepreneurial spirit, and unshakeable belief in divine purpose. This biography reveals her fierce determination and the opposition she overcame — from both inside and outside the Church — to become a modern icon of Catholic media and faith leadership.
