The Keramion, Lost and Found: A Journey to the Face of God
The Keramion, Lost and Found. "Vivid historical writing . . . a fascinating and factual defense for the authenticity of the famous Shroud" ( Christian Newswire). The Shroud of Turin, the traditional burial cloth of Jesus Christ, is either authentic or not. "It is one or the other, there is no middle ground." The Keramion, Lost and Found provides new answers to that centuries-old debate.In 2000, I began a quest for ancient oil lamps in a faraway land, but it soon became an epic Journey to the FACE of GOD.
Questions posed Could a small mosaic found in a faraway museum possibly have anything to do with numerous ancient, classical depictions of Jesus Christ?* Could it bear an actual Image of the GOD-Man, an Image of GOD Incarnate; and, perhaps, be "the earliest known portrait image of Jesus Christ in existence?"* Could it confirm vital, key elements of a 1700-year-old legend surrounding Early Christianity?* Could it possibly corroborate the authenticity of the Shroud of Turin as the AD1st Century burial cloth of Jesus Christ?* Could the small mosaic, the ISA Tile, be the actual historical Keramion?
Experience the providential discovery of the "key," a beautiful mosaic that unlocks some of the mysteries of the Shroud and ancient, classical depictions of Jesus Christ in sacred art. As a former FBI Special Agent, I instinctively conducted this research from an investigative perspective. Now, ample evidence from this resolute and intriguing pursuit of the truth is finally revealed, "for such a time as this."
"Buckle up", and come along on this amazing journey. Join my guide and translator, Hafize, and me on this trip of a lifetime. We traversed Turkey in search of ancient oil lamps, but found something much more illuminating. Be advised, though, you may also find something, perhaps, that you have been seeking all your life... the TRUTH!

The Shroud
This was informative but was too repetitive and became rather boring because of that. It is still worth reading, but could have been much shorter without so much repetition.

The Face of Jesus
What a special and exciting adventure. I can imagine your excitement when you first saw the mosaic of our Lord and Savior. I really enjoyed how you were able to put the shroud and the mosaic together. This only adds to our original beliefs.

Very good book. I have always been fascinated with ancient and Biblical history. While in Italy, I visited both the Shroud of Turin church and museum. Many years later, I stumbled upon the author and his excellent book (small world story), which gave me a lot more insight. I highly recommend reading this piece of history. Well done!
