Raymond Arroyo Books Overview

Mother Angelica

The extraordinary saga of Mother Angelica, founder of the multimillion dollar Eternal Word Television Network and the most influential Catholic woman in America according to Time magazine

In 1981, the year after Ted Turner founded CNN, 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.

Born Rita Rizzo in Canton, Ohio, in 1923, Mother Angelica was abandoned by her father and raised in poverty by a mother who suffered from suicidal depressions. As a young woman, Rita developed severe abdominal pain that doctors dismissed as a nervous condition, but when she sought the prayers of a local mystic, her symptoms disappeared. Awakened to the power of prayer, she vowed to dedicate her life to God and became a cloistered nun, expecting to spend her life hidden from the world. But Rita s faith soon compelled her to unlikely endeavors, from establishing a monastery in Alabama to starting the world s first Catholic cable network. Relying solely on God s providence, Mother Angelica built an empire without concern for budgets or fund raising campaigns, achieving what even the highest levels of the Catholic Church had been unable to do.

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 inside and outside of her church. It is an inspiring story of survival and proof that one woman s faith can move more than mountains.

‘Everything starts with one person…

‘If you are following God, He never shows you the end. It’s always a walk of faith.’

‘Faith is one foot on the ground, one foot in the air, and a queasy feeling in the stomach.’

Of Thee I Zing

While Laura Ingraham was walking through a Northern Virginia shopping mall one Saturday afternoon, it all became clear to her. Everywhere she turned, she saw signs of the impending disaster: zombie teens texting each other across a caf table; a man having his eyebrows threaded at a kiosk; a fiftyish woman shoe horned into a tube top and skinny jeans; and a storefront ad featuring a Victoria’s Secret model spilling out of her push up bra and into the faces of young passersby. Ingraham wondered to herself, Is this it? Is this what our forefathers fought for? What my parents struggled for? I wonder if Victoria s Secret is still having that two for one sale? A menacing force surrounds us. We see it, we feel it, we know it. The country we love is in grave peril. While politicians and experts prattle on about the debt crisis at home, and terrorism abroad, a more insidious homegrown threat is emerging. It endangers our future and undermines our present. The uncomfortable truth is: We have become our own worst enemy. The culture we have created is now turning on us. We re on the verge of drowning in our ignorance, arrogance, gluttony…
can you believe there are only three shots of vanilla in a Caramel Macchiato?!? Now in an act of patriotic intervention the most listened to woman in talk radio casts her satirical eye upon all that ails American society. In this sharp witted, comic romp, Laura Ingraham takes you on a guided tour through ten levels of our cultural hell. You know we re in trouble when…
Airplane seats shrink just as the passengers expand. Celebrity baby names go from the peculiar Apple, Stetson, and Daisy Boo to the pathetic Bamboo, Blanket, and Bronx. People meticulously tend their virtual crops on Farmville, while their children eat takeout. Breaking News usually means it happened yesterday. The weddings last longer than the marriages. Facebook has become a verb and reading has become an ancient art form. Of Thee I Zing is cultural commentary too funny to ignore, igniting a national conversation long past due. America, your cultural recovery begins here.
