On the morning of September 11, 2001, Secret Service agent Darin Kinder was near the base of the South Tower when it began to collapse. What followed was a harrowing fight for survival-one that revealed the true meaning of courage, sacrifice, and calling.
Bury Me in a Dirty Suit is a gripping eyewitness account of 9/11 and a heartfelt exploration of what it means to live with a valiant purpose. With honesty and humility, Kinder recounts the chaos and trauma of that day, the resilience of the human spirit, and the sustaining power of faith in the darkest hour. Through personal reflection and biblical insight, he invites readers to consider their own missions, their own "why," and challenges men especially to answer God's call, step up, and fight back against the darkness.
More than a memoir, Bury Me in a Dirty Suit is a rallying cry for men to live boldly-for others and for God.
