Supernatural - The Life of William Branham, Volume 1
BOOK 1: THE BOY AND HIS DEPRIVATION (1909-1932)
William Branham is one of the greatest healing evangelists in Church history. From the minute he was born, William Branham was set apart from the ordinary. Plagued by poverty and rejection, he became a nervous child. Unusual things kept happening to him, mystifying and spiritual things...but he did not start thinking about God until he was 14, when he nearly lost both legs in a shotgun accident. As he lay dying in a pool of blood, he saw a terrifying vision of hell - saw himself falling constantly deeper into that region of lost and drifting souls. He cried out to God for mercy and miraculously was given a second chance - a chance which later he almost failed to grasp.
BOOK 2: THE YOUNG MAN AND HIS DESPERATION (1933-1946)
As a young pastor, William Branham struggled to understand his peculiar life. Why was he the only minister in town who saw visions? When God first called him into nation-wide evangelism in 1936, he refused, only to pay dearly for his mistake by losing his wife and daughter to tuberculosis. The visions continued. Ministers told him that these visions came from Satan. Desperation finally drove him to seek a supernatural being. The angel gave him a commission from God to take a gift of Divine healing to the peoples of the world. When William Branham questioned whether the people would believe an angel had really met him, the angel said he would be given two supernatural signs to prove his calling. Then they would have to believe. And believe they did!
BOOK 3: THE MAN AND HIS COMMISSION (1946-1950)
Soon after the angel visited William Branham and told him he was ordained to take a gift of healing to the peoples of the world, the first sign appeared - a physical reaction in his hand that happened only when he touched the hand of someone suffering from a germ-caused disease. Within two months of his commission, William Branham's extraordinary gift had gained national attention...

-The Supernatural series of books are an interesting read concerning the life of William Branham. The author, Owen Jorgensen, gained the material for this series from William Branham's own sermons as well as eye-witness testimonies. Critics of the series are quick to point out that the author did not invest many resources in third-party verification of the events that are recorded in the books. -Because of the unique nature of William Branham's ministry, many people consider him to be a prophet. Additionally, many churches were started (self-identified as Message Churches) that view William Branham's teachings to be divinely inspired.

A remarkable story that almost seems to good to be true. It has inspired me to be more versed with scriptures and increase my faith in Jesus to work miraculously. “Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or imagine, according to the power that works in us” Ephesians 3:20. This book will challenge your thoughts about modern Christianity and the limits you or the church may have formed concerning Jesus and His will.

Incredible book about this evangelists spiritual life. God plucked him out on obscurity and turned his life around to be used exclusively in service of our Father. This book does not disappoint. Really the things that happen to him are fascinating!!! Don’t miss it!

If you love to read how God works through his people, you'll enjoy this book.
I loved this book. Owen Jorgensen beautifully wove truths about William Branham's life into story form. He kept me interested till the end and wanting to read the next one. Jesus said we would do works like him and more. Mr. Branham certainly did.

A longer read but filled with exciting stories and adventures! William Branham has had a significant impact on the charismatic movement and his dedication to the Lord on display in this book is one that will challenge every believer whether they truly believe God is who He says He is.
