Substance of the message great for young people
We presented this book to our third grade grandson, Matthew, who loves to read.We are a Fire Department and Catholic family but the message in the book is universal.We read it ourselves before gifting it to him and pray it is read and reread several times as he matures.Out opinion is that it can relate in different ways and send different messages as the child develops.
i saw the author on the "God's Squad" TV program and thank her for writing it.

A GREAT MAN!
A year prior to 911, my elderly mother took a bad fall as we strolled on Central Park West.Father Mychal happened to be nearby, raced to our rescue, and took control of the situation.He gently calmed her, summoned two police officers from Central Park, directed that they "just put in a few butterflies, we're not going to take this woman to a hospital" (they immediately complied with "Yes, Father Mike") and then put Mom and myself in his car and drove us back to our hotel, using his siren and flashing lights to circumvent traffic.We had no idea of who this man "was".. until the horror of 911... and heard Mayor Giulianai speak of "losing Father Mike".How wonderful that the author had the presence of mind to write a book focused for children to detail the life of this kind and brave man.

A touching book!
I ordered 6 copies of this book for myself and friends of mine who have a personal connection to NYC.They love the book and have subsequently ordered more copies.What a moving tribute to Father Mychal Judge ... thank you!

Charming childrens story about an amazing man
Having read most of the books written about Fr. Mychal Judge, I was anxious to add this children's book to my collection.Especially since I would like my own young child to grow up learning from his lessons of love, faith, forgiveness & acceptance.I was not at all dissapointed by this book.It contains beautiful illustrations and a lovely story that tells of the life of Fr. Judge in a way children can understand.I bought a copy for my child's (Catholic) school as well as for our Church library in addition to our copy.I hope many will be touched by this lovely book.

I Liked It!
The book, He Said Yes: The Story of Father Mychal Judge, is well written and interestingly illustrated.The language and reading level are judged to be best accepted by students of third or fourth grade. The book concludes with some activity pages.
Although it was made public after 911 that Father Mychal Judge was gay, this is not mentioned or even alluded to in the book.This book would be appropriate in any library or private collection. If Catholic schools and libraries are not placing this biography within their walls, then they are missing a real treasure. ... Read more

Ever wondered to yourself who "They" are?Well, I have asked myself that very question for years.

Have you ever been in a conversation and someone will say something like, "They say it's going to rain tomorrow".Well, who the heck are They? Are They some type of authority on the subject?Are They just people giving their opinions?Who are They and where do They come from?

Over the past year, I have consulted with many friends, family members, and colleagues to investigate the mystery of "They" and what I have found may entertain you.I have compiled a list of 100 They Say... anecdotes for you to enjoy and you can determine once and for all who "They" are! ...

Excellent book even if you are not a student
This is probably one of the best text books I have ever read. If you haven't read any economics book before then I would highly recommend this. This is the first economics book I have read. After reading this book a lot of things that you say are evil or just unfair to poor people will start making sense. It discusses about people's behavior, their reaction to different laws etc. A must read. ... Read more
