The possible Shroud story

This book gives a really intriguing hypothesis about the Shroud missing centuries. The author is a believer, but the arguments are all very solid.

Shroud of Turin

Fascinating book about the mysterious shroud. The history and background research done by the author is mind-boggling.

Christ was Here and Christ will come back to Reign.

The shroud of turin (no caps for shroud of turin)is proof that Jesus Christ was here back then. But as of right now, He is in the Heavens. The important message of the book, on this topic (on the shroud)is that the He (Jesus Christ)came to save us in order for us to have Eternal salvation. People like to exaggerate or even show off by saying, "the shroud of turin" but what is more important for one is the Person who was wrapped in it (Jesus Christ)and not the cloth itself. The cloth will not take you to heaven but the God Christ will. Christ is Alive and He is in Heaven....we will have new bodies in this new world that Jesus Christ will establish Himself, but for that to happen we must be good and we must be in the book of Life in order to see this new world He will create. i also recommend you get a Bible ESV and read the word of GOD Christ. the shroud can be compared to this example: a person you meet who is very nice but who wore a polo shirt, but when he is gone, the shirt stays behind, but seeing that shirt will remind you of that loving person you always dealt with. You want him back(that person in your life) because he was so loving, caring, unique, and he was the only one who understood you-always and forever.

Evidence that Christ Lived, and Lives till this day-But in the Heavens.

I bought this book, and the information True. People should not look at this information from the Scientific point of view because whole point to this is something even more important-and that is that Jesus Christ did Exist back then. The Shroud of Turin is the Evidence. It is no hoax at all. It is all Real. The point is that Jesus Christ, the True Creator God of this World roamed this Planet in the Flesh back in the day before He Left to Heaven in order to be With His Father (God). When He died, He was wrapped with this Shroud-this blaket sheet when placed in some Cave. Why do the Italians hold this Shroud with such caution/care? Because it is real! It is like the only piece evidence that says to one that Christ was Alive. This book is recommended to Atheists who don't believe that Christ existed at all. This is proof that He did Live. Everyone will be shocked once He comes back to this Earth.....One has to believe in Him, as well as follow His ways because many will be damned to Hell. This is a great book by Ian Wilson. 5 stars.

The most comprehensive and informed book on The Shroud

A lot of research has gone into this book. The author also gives graphic, medical details about the passion of the person depicted. It leaves on e in no doubt about the authenticity of this cloth. I have read many books on this subject, mostly biased, one way or the other. This is a classic and will stand the test of time. I cannot recommend this book too highly, or rather highly enough.
