-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.
Supernatural: The Life of William Branham is a six volume fictionalized biography of William Branham. It would best be described as a hagiography.
The author is a dedicated member of the Branhamite sect and, as a result, is incapable of examining the life of his prophet critically. Jorgensen effectively takes William Branham's word as gospel and does not perform any critical analysis of William Branham's life and ministry.
The lack of credible research is reflected throughout the book on an almost constant basis. Jorgensen's use of corroborating evidence is virtually non-existent. If you want an independent analysis of some of the facts in this book, I would suggest SearchingForVindication.com or BelieveTheSign.com
The 5 star ratings given to this book are likely from other members of the sect.
