  • "Does the story of a group of men with the best of intentions but no professional credentials coming together to build a receptacle for their community's most sacred objects deserve to have a book written about them? ... Their work raises an interesting theologicval question : does holiness reside in special places and objects, or can ordinary people take something ordinary and turn it into something sacred by their efforts and their intentions?"--The Foreword.
