Synopsis:
His death certificate bears the number one. On September 11, 2001, Father Mychal Judge rushed to the fires as quickly as those who fought them, losing his own life while tirelessly ministering to New York's bravest. "The Book of Mychal" recounts the colourful, astonishing and, at times, troubled life of the beloved Franciscan priest.Pulitzer prize-winning columnist Michael Daly retraces the footsteps of 'Father Mike' inside the fire house as FDNY Chaplain, inside his friary and his Church, and inside the chaos that often befalls New York...culminating tragically on that fateful day at the Emergency Services Command Post of the North Tower. Praised by Bill Clinton, Rudy Giuliani, and by the countless fire fighters whose lives he touched, Judge became a symbol of how much we truly lost that day. As a movement to grant Judge sainthood gains momentum today, the story of this good, devout, but very complicated and controversial man will inspire readers everywhere.
