Description

The Man Behind the Miracle is the inspiring story of Father Alfred Boeddeker, distinguished humanitarian, theologian, and writer. Nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize, Father Alfred served and respected his fellow men and women without regard for their race, religion or station. In San Francisco, he founded the St. Anthony Dining Room, which has served 27 million meals to the hungry, and the St. Anthony Clinic, which has been providing free medical care since 1958.The San Francisco Chronicle was once moved to call him the greatest advocate for the elderly in America. St. Anthony Farm, near San Francisco, has provided drug and alcohol rehabilitation for more than nine thousand people. His legacy of selfless devotion remains a beacon of hope that continues to light the world. - from Amzon
