Sudarium
A THRILLER
A brilliant scientist. Stolen DNA. A baby girl … cloned from Christ.
What could go wrong?Elizabeth Barnes, a brilliant agnostic scientist, recovers and uses DNA from a legendary burial cloth — the Sudarium — to impregnate herself and give birth to a clone of Christ.
Three decades later, the identity of Jennifer, the woman cloned from Jesus, is revealed. And chaos is unleashed.
The media goes wild, the world reacts, and a shadowy group activates its chilling plan. As global conflict between religions escalates, Jennifer realizes its not just her own life that’s in great peril.
A startling debut from thriller author Chuck Shelton, Sudarium explores what it means to live with integrity and courage as a person of faith.
It disrupts stale views about gender among Christians and invites readers to pursue their spirituality with fresh eyes in the context of radically loving oneself and others.

AUTHOR’S NOTE
People from all walks of life are asking:
What prompted you to write a book like this?I write and live to disrupt lazy thinking and problematic behavior, and equip others to care for themselves and others more effectively, doing so in their relationships and organizations.
I use humor, I seek to evoke courage, I want my readers to think and feel deeply, ground their actions more profoundly in their values, and then help others to do that, too.
