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.
La historia extraordinaria de la Madre Angelica, fundadora de la multimillonaria Cadena de Television Eternal World y “la catolica mas influyente de Estados Unidos”, segun la revista Time.En 1981, un ao despues de que Ted Turner creara CNN, una sencilla monja, solo con sus instintos empresariales y doscientos dolares, fundo en el garaje de un monasterio de Birmingham, Alabama, lo que se convertiria en el imperio religioso de medios de difusion mas grande del mundo. 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.

Return Of The Prodigal Son
$17.00Add to cartA chance encounter with a reproduction of Rembrandt’s The Return of the Prodigal Son catapulted Henri Nouwen on a long spiritual adventure. Here he shares the deeply personal and resonant meditation that led him to discover the place within where God has chosen to dwell.
In seizing the inspiration that came to him through Rembrandt’s depiction of the powerful Gospel story, Henri Nouwen probes the several movements of the parable: the younger son’s return, the father’s restoration of sonship, the elder son’s vengefulness, and the father’s compassion. In his reflection on Rembrandt in light of his own life journey, the author evokes a powerful drama of the parable in a rich, capativating way that is sure to reverberate in the hearts of readers. The themes of homecoming, affirmation, and reconciliation will be newly discovered by all who have known loneliness, dejection, jealousy, or anger. The challenge to love as the father and be loved as the son will be seen as the ultimate revelation of the parable known to Christians throughout time, and here represented with a vigor and power fresh for our times.
For all who ask, “Where has my struggle led me?” or for those “on the road” who have had the courage to embark on the journey but seek the illumination of a known way and safe passage, this work will inspire and guide each time it is read.
