"Holy Shroud - Why We Believe clearly serves the purpose of promoting devotion and union with Jesus Christ who suffered, died and was raised from the dead by the Father, for the Salvation of humankind." - His Excellency Bishop Cletus Chandrasiri Perera, O.S.B. Diocese of Ratnapura, Sri Lanka. "This book...is a "labor of love," and it simplifies the perplexity of the Holy Shroud of Jesus and spiritually shows the "PRECIOUS GIFT OF HEALING" in the heart of each chapter." - Fr. Bernard Schinn, O.S.B. Superior Holy Face Monastery, Clifton, New Jersey, U.S.A. "The Holy Shroud - Why We Believe is one of the most complete and most gentle books ever written on the Shroud and, in our estimation, a jewel fronting the perpetuation of the global Shroud revival in the third millennium of Christ." - From the Preface by Dr. John P. Jackson, Ph.D. & Rebecca S. Jackson, MBA Directors, Turin Shroud Center of Colorado, U.S.A. "This kind of study certainly helps us to focus our attention on the immense sufferings of a crucified person and then transfer them to the life our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, and appreciate His great love for us. Let us keep our eyes, minds and hearts open and go further in our spiritual journey." - Very Rev. Fr. Leonard Ranasinghe O.S.B.Conventual Prior of Sri Lanka
