<b><i>NEW YORK TIMES</i> BESTSELLER - "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."--Lee Iacocca, The Iacocca Family Foundation, former CEO of the Chrysler Corporation</b> <p/>In 1981, a simple nun, using merely her entrepreneurial instincts and two hundred dollars, launched what would become the world's largest religious media empire. In the garage of a Birmingham, Alabama, monastery, the Eternal Word Television Network grew at a staggering pace under her guidance.
