Mother Angelica: The Remarkable Story of a Nun, Her Nerve, and a Network of Miracles

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.
