It is #2 at Amazon among all books where it has held a position in the top 100 bestsellers for 73 days. As of this past Sunday, it was the New York Time’s #1 Bestseller in Non-Fiction Paperbacks and the #2 Bestseller among all Non-Fiction including Digital. The Akiane Prince of Peace? The book, Heaven is for Real? A kid who saw Jesus in heaven during some sort of purported near-death experience (NDE)? Really? And does this visionary picture look like the man in the Shroud? It turns out that the book is a sensation. The Akiane Jesus looks like the Turin Shroud. Later, he confirmed that Jesus looked like the Akiane Jesus. Four-year-old Colton Burpo left the hospital operating room and went heaven where he saw Jesus. STURP and now the Shroud Science Group with all its scientific books and journals cannot begin to match the power of this story. I just finished reading “Heaven is for Real.” I am thinking that the Akiane Prince of Peace is very similar to the man in the Turin Shroud. Last week I received an email from a reader that threw me for a loop. Nonetheless, how it compares to the image on the Shroud of Turin might significantly impact how the public thinks about the authenticity of the shroud. It is quite okay to be skeptical about such visions. There is a new, very popular visionary picture of Jesus that many think must be accurate.

When the film was developed the attached picture of the Child Jesus appeared. “The Blessed Charles de Foucauld (1858-1916) took a photo of the Eucharistic Jesus while it was exposed on the altar. The card on the back actually says that it wasn’t Blessed Foucauld who took the picture but one of the other desert fathers in his order.” The painting has three stylized roses around Jesus’s head and inside the halo in the painting, but these do not appear in the photo reproduction. Notes another: “I was given a holy card reproduction of the photo and compared it to the painting, and they’re actually different. Also, there is no reason why this same photo did not appear miraculously in Blessed Charles’ picture of the Eucharist as a confirmation of his Divine approval of this photo.” There are many reports online that state that Jesus appeared to Blessed Charles de Foucauld and stated that he will give his blessings to those that have this photo in their homes. However, that does not mean that this photo was not blessed and chosen by Christ himself. Notes a Facebook entry: “As you have seen, I did change my title to ‘alleged’ realizing that there is a painting by American Painter Charles Chambers that depicts this same photo. Sure enough the painting was painted by the same artist - Bosseron Chambers.” When I saw the picture it looked very similar to a painting my grandma had when I was a child. “A simple search on google will provide the answers. “The article regarding the ‘miraculous’ Child Jesus photo is obviously a painting,” writes a viewer. There is no doubt a back and forth about that.
