Summary: This book took me an hour to read
Review: Loved it and I thought the proofs were very compelling. I went in believing that the shroud was of Jesus of Nazareth and now I believe it even more strongly.Read this book if you are a skeptic or true believer!!!

Summary: I highly recommended this to all my friends!
Review: This is a great story. The author gives you all the facts so you can really make your own decision about the meaning of the Shroud. The story is well told & it is hard not to see Dr. Lavoie's passion through the writing. It is actually very inspirational. I felt like I was with Dr. Lavoie step by step on a quest for answers about the Shroud. I gave this book to several friends and they really enjoyed it as well. Thanks for writing such a great book Dr. Lavoie!

Summary: WOW
Review: To be honest, I didn't even see the obvious points Dr. Lavoie points out when I have seen the shroud in the past. It's right there on the cloth. This is a very detailed analysis of how this man came to grips with the facts surrounding the shroud of Turin. This book is wonderfully written, totally insightful, and completely logical. Read this book. You will not be disappointed..

Summary: A Fantastic Book.
Review: Wow! Ex-hockey coach Gary Habermas presents "tangible" evidence that a man rose from the dead! Can anyone play that game? Mark says that Jesus became famous as an "exorcist" who had conversations with invisible demons in front of a crowd. The "demons" obeyed him, falling down at Jesus's feet in convulsions, screaming obscenities. Isn't it possibe this was a con man? That the "possessed" were working with Jesus? When Jesus raised Lazarus from the dead, he opened a tomb at night and Lazarus walked out, alive, wrapped in a burial shroud. What would Dana Scully say? I know, because last week, the X-Files started an episode with a man rising from the grave. Scully scolded Mulder, saying the most obvious explanation was a con game, someone pulling a charade. All of the "tangible" evidence in this book fits that theory exactly. There was no tomb. When the disciples held dinner meetings for new converts, they presented a little play where a narrator (dressed in a white robe) read a tribute to Jesus. "Look where they laid him. He is not here!" The disciples asked his followers to report their dreams, and the dreams these people had about Jesus were the same ones Dr. Raymond Moody collected about Elvis. The women watched Jesus die on a cross, in agony for hours, and then they had dreams in which people spoke with Jesus' voice and they suddenly realised, "This must be Jesus." No, this "tangible" evidence doesn't stand up to any kind of scrutiny, certainly not the kind of rigorous cross-examination we should demand (and seldom do.) Recruiting a doctor who specializes in "Shroud credibility" is not a step forward. I'm going to wait until Chris Carter (creator of the X-Files) does a definitive script for "Jesus: How to Fool Some People All of the Time" where Scully offers the best scientific explanation for the Resurrection. After all, if we took Mulder's theories without that skeptical rebuttal, it wouldn't be as good a show.
