Unfortunately, this book could also be described as a "hagiography" which is defined as: | |||
*a book about someone's life that makes it seem better than it really is or was; | |||
*a biography that praises someone too much; or | |||
*an idealizing or idolizing biography. | |||
For additional testimonies, see the video of [[Sydney Jackson]] who was in attendance at many of these meetings. | For additional testimonies, see the video of [[Sydney Jackson]] who was in attendance at many of these meetings. | ||

|'''WARNING!!!''' <br> Julius Stadsklev wrote about the healing of [[Florence Nightingale]] in his book A Prophet Visits South Africa. His facts were so wrong that Rev. Gwilam Francis (who was also in the room with William Branham when Florence Shirlaw was prayed for), wrote to Voice of Healing who published the revised facts in 1954. It is not known how many other stories published by Julius Stadsklev also contained significant errors. | |||
Given the significance of this error, the factual accuracy of the entire book should be brought into question. This appears to be another example of the author simply accepting the stories of William Branham without first checking on the accuracy and veracity of his stories. | |||

The elderly man got up and started folding his blanket when several Red Cross men, who were always assisting at the meetings and ready to help the sick, came over to assist him. He spoke loudly and emphatically as he said, "Brother Branham told me to fold my blanket and my cot and that doesn't mean that you're supposed to help me. So go away and don't bother me." | The elderly man got up and started folding his blanket when several Red Cross men, who were always assisting at the meetings and ready to help the sick, came over to assist him.
