The Face of God: The Rediscovery Of The True Face of Jesus by Badde, Paul

A ground-breaking book, plenty of photographs
This was a good read, I read it a year or two ago, and I bought this book as a gift for someone else. This is the book that details the author's investigation into the relic at Manopelo, which leads him to conclude that this cloth covered the face of Jesus as He lay in the tomb. The cloth seems to capture His face at the moment of resurrection. The book has many photos of the cloth, which helps to show how the Face seems to have several expressions on it, depending on how the light shines through the cloth. The Introduction is kind of a difficult read, but don't be put off by that. The author writes in German and this is an English translation of the book. For some reason, the Intro is still in somewhat German syntax (not really syntax, but the way Germans express their ideas by contrast, which can be hard to follow at first), but the rest of the book reads much more easily for an American English-speaker.
The Five Dysfunctions of a Team: A Leadership Fable
I like buying LEGO sets because it's a great way to spend time with my daughter. But she's 12 now, and wanted to do this one all by herself. She enjoyed making it, but of course, didn't get all the pieces SOLIDLY put together, so this one falls apart rather easily if you don't use all your hand strength to assemble. The details are great.
