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.

Forever And Ever Amen
$19.99The long-awaited, deeply personal story of one of American music’s greatest icons, a remarkable tale of the utmost heights of fame and success, the deepest lows of life’s sorrows, and a miraculous return from the brink of death-told as only Randy Travis can.
Beloved around the world, Randy Travis has sold more than 25 million albums in both country and gospel and is considered one of the finest performers of his generation, admired by superstars across the musical landscape, from Garth Brooks to Mick Jagger.
From a working-class background in North Carolina to a job as a cook and club singer in Nashville to his “overnight success” with his smash 1986 album Storms of Life–which launched the neotraditional movement in country music–Randy’s first three decades are a true rags-to-riches story.
But in 2009, this seemingly charmed life began a downward spiral. His marriage dissolved, he discovered that his finances had unraveled, and his struggles with anger led to alcohol abuse, public embarrassment, and even police arrest in 2012.
Then, just as he was putting his life back together, Randy suffered a devastating viral cardiomyopathy that led to a massive stroke which he was not expected to survive. Yet he not only survived but also learned to walk again and in 2016 accepted his induction into the Country Music Hall of Fame by singing the hymn that explains his life today: “Amazing Grace.”
Filled with never-before-told stories, Forever and Ever, Amen is a riveting tale of unfathomable success, great joy, deep pain, and redemption that can come only from above.
