The Ground Zero Cross - by Ofm Brian J Jordan (Paperback)

The Ground Zero Cross is a remarkable discovery within the ruins of World Trade Center 6, made by a union construction worker just two days after the terrible attack on September 11, 2001.

This book tells the thirteen-year odyssey of this iconic cross from its position atop a concrete abutment within the World Trade Center during the recovery and rebuilding period to its current location at the National 9/11 Memorial Museum.

The author, a Franciscan priest, shares his personal memoir of guarding the Ground Zero cross through many uncertain days, highlighting themes of spirituality, grief sharing, selfless sacrifice, architecture, church history, biblical theology, and litigation.

Despite obstacles transcended on the way to its triumph, this book is a testament to the power of resilience and hope in the face of tragedy.
