The Many Wounds Jesus Suffered with a Special Focus on His Holy Face Timmerman, William, PhD

The book will challenge you to know about what Jesus suffered and offered up for us than ever before. It will make Lent more alive and relevant by examining His many wounds-more than we ever think and feel about. "By His Wounds We Are Healed"!The author clearly connects the prophecies about the Passion and Crucifixion with the evidence of fulfillment from three famous relics: the Shroud of Turin, Sudarium of Oviedo and the Veil of Veronica legend. A famous Catholic mystic identifies, for the first time, the name of the real person who wiped Jesus' face on his Way to the Cross. Two expert forensic pathologists complete pictorial autopsies of the Shroud. The book presents many photographs for the reader to: follow the examination of the dead body and to "see" the Shroud up close and the other relics. The author devotes great attention to and respect for the Holy Face of Jesus and explains why the picture of Jesus is right next to his computer, in different places in his home and even the first thing he sees when he opens his billfold. He claims the "power of the visual" has helped him grow spiritually and confront unholy temptations in his life.
