Description:
The Remarkable Story of a Nun, Her Nerve, and a Network of
Miracles
This engrossing biography accounts Mother Abgelica's origins in
Canton, Ohio.
Awakened to the power of prayer, she vowed to dedicate her life to God.
She became a cloistered nun, expecting to spend her life hidden from
the world. But her faith compelled her to unlikely endeavors, from
establishing a monastery in Alabama to starting the network. Relying
solely on "God's providence," Mother Angelica built the empire without
concern for budgets or fund-raising campaigns. She had accomplished
what the highest echelon of the Catholic Church had been unable to do,
and EWTN's success generated fierce opposition from bishops and
archbishops across the country. At the instigation of the Bishop of Los
Angeles, she was even investigated by the Vatican. She won this "David
and Goliath" battle, ust as she had triumphed over adversity all her
life.
RAYMOND ARROYO is the news director and lead anchor at EWTNews and
has worked as a journalist at the Associated Press, the New York
Observer, and for the political columnist team of Evans and Novak. 416
pages. -- Raymond Arroyo -- Paperback -- 5 1/2 x 8 1/4" H
