Madre Angelica – (Spanish)
$23.00
In 1981, a simple nun, using merely her entrepreneurial instincts and $200, launched what would become the world’s largest religious media empire in the garage of a Birmingham, Alabama, monastery. Under her guidance, the Eternal Word Television Network grew at a staggering pace, both in viewership and in influence, to where it now reaches over a hundred million viewers in hundreds of countries around the globe.
Raymond Arroyo combines his journalist’s objectivity and eye for detail with more than five years of exclusive interviews with Mother Angelica. He traces Mother Angelica’s tortured rise to success and exposes for the first time the fierce opposition she faced, both outside and inside of her church.

Bajo su guia, la Cadena de Television Eternal World (EWTN) crecio a un ritmo asombroso, tanto en numero de televidentes como en influencia, hasta el punto de que ahora llega a mas de cien millones de televidentes en cientos de paises de todo el mundo.Nacida como Rita Rizzo en Canton, Ohio, en 1923, la Madre Angelica fue abandonada por su padre y criada en la pobreza por una madre que padecia de depresion. De joven, Rita sufrio fuertes dolores abdominales que los medicos pensaron que se debian a un “problema de los nervios”, pero sus sintomas desaparecieron cuando una mistica de su localidad rezo por ella. Al darse cuenta del poder de la oracion, Rita juro dedicar su vida a Dios y se hizo monja de clausura, con la esperanza de pasar toda su existencia lejos del mundo. Pero muy pronto, la fe de Rita la impulso a realizar obras increibles, desde establecer un monasterio en Alabama hasta dar inicio a la primera cadena catolica de television por cable. Confiando unicamente en “la providencia de Dios”, la Madre Angelica construyo un imperio sin prestar atencion a presupuestos ni a campaas de recaudacion, y logro lo que ni los mas altos prelados de la Iglesia Catolica habian logrado hacer.
