He is an accomplished writer, skilled editor, dogged researcher, and multi-award winning art director. All these talents and experiences have come together and been applied to writing and producing The Sacred Heart of Jesus: A Visual History. The book is a result of a lifetime of fascination and devotion to this mystical symbol. In an attempt to present a comprehensive account of the Sacred Heart, he has researched museums, libraries, universities, Church archives, and private collections in Europe, North and South America, and Africa for rare and revealing art featuring this symbol. He has sought the consult of the world’s leading scholars of the history of and devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. With its extensive bibliography, chronology of the history of Sacred Heart, lists of every Sacred Heart church and school in North America, links to Sacred Heart organizations and artist, and unparalleled sequence of Sacred Heart images from the 1st century to the present, the book will be the most comprehensive presentation of the subject ever published. Of French-Belgian ancestry, he traces his lineage to the Merovingian Dynasty through Chlotar I. |
