ADVANCE PRAISE FOR MOTHER ANGELICA " 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. Buy this book and be inspired." -- Lee Iacocca, The Iacocca Foundation, former chief executive officer of the Chrysler Corporation " Raymond Arroyo masterfully captures the complexities, humanity, and tenacity of Mother Angelica, who has long been one of my own personal heroes. The founder of the Eternal Word Television Network, Mother Angelica is a woman who dared to dream, to stand up for what she believed in, and whose faith showed that anything is possible. In Arroyo' s hands, she becomes someone you wish you had the opportunity to know and love. Read this book and believe." -- Nicholas Sparks " This is some woman. What a wonderful story Raymond Arroyo has written-- wonderful because it' s true, because he got the facts, because she chose him to tell them, and because he' s a born storyteller." -- Peggy Noonan, author of "When Character Was King " " Mother Angelica' s personal words to me, her courageous example, and her constant prayers helped inspire my portrayal of Jesus in "The Passion of the Christ," No one could have captured the essence of this modern-day saint better than Raymond Arroyo. His narrative gifts and understanding of Mother are clearly evident in this truthful and often candid depiction of one nun' s struggle to bring God to the multitudes. Surely this book, and Mother' s life will have an incredible enduring legacy." -- JamesCaviezel, actor " Mother Angelica is one of the greatest entrepreneurs of all time, and is truly one of my heroes. With his " insider" perspective, Raymond Arroyo has done a masterful job capturing not only Mother' s immeasurable accomplishments but also her remarkable personality. Like Mother herself, this book has the unique combination of being both inspiring and entertaining." -- Thomas S. Monaghan, founder of Domino' s Pizza and Chancellor of Ave Maria University " A rattling good story of fear, faith, courage, and bulldog tenacity, beautifully told. The drama of Mother Angelica' s life is a powerful reminder that the extraordinary lies just beyond the ordinary-- if we have eyes to see and ears to hear." -- George Weigel, author of "Witness to Hope: Tthe Biography of Pope John Paul II ", ADVANCE PRAISE FOR MOTHER ANGELICA "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.

    I would DEFINITELY purchase from this seller again. Seller might want to add more pics and better description because there was a tear on the back dust jacket that wasn’t mentioned. Could’ve happened during shipping so I’m not holding it against the seller. I fixed with tape on the inside of jacket. No harm/no foul. The seller had a more than generous price for this book + free shipping. NO complaints. Hence, I would purchase from this seller again without hesitation.

  • Colorful Woman--Amazing Life

    This story about Mother Angelica and the amazing life she led devoted to Jesus is a very enjoyable read. Not only is Mother Angelica a character, she was an ever faithful servant who found a way against very difficult odds to reach millions of people who needed to hear what she had to say. When I see how her life played out and the miraculous things that happened to her, it makes me think there are a lot of wonderful things in this world I am missing! She accomplished more in her seventies than most people do in their whole lives!

  • I love Mother Angelica's Story

    I haven't finished the book yet, but am absolutely thrilled. The author tells a great story that is not dry and holds my attention. My only problem is my eyesight prevents me from reading more than a chapter at a time.

  • Captivating

    I gave away my first copy of this book so I bought another one. Same as the first time reading, I couldn't put this book down. I think there is something for everyone in this book to identify with. The story of Rita Rizzo (Mother Angelica)'s life is heartbreaking at times, but it gives us all some wonderful insight on how we should live our own life. Just as Our Blessed Mother's magnificat proclaims, Mother Angelica's life is a perfect example of how God lifts up the poor and the weak, fills them with good things and makes them strong. Never underestimate the power of God.
