| Born in Elswick, Lancashire to wealthy Christian parents
William Bramwell, became an outstanding evangelistic preacher ministering
in a number of Wesleyan circuits. While apprenticed to a currier his
passion for the truth led him to serious Bible study, resulting in
his conviction and conversion. Disappointed with the lack of fellowship
amongst the Anglicans and deeply impressed by reading John Wesley’s
works, he decided to join the unpopular ‘Wesleyan devils.’
Thereafter he devoted himself to the service of Christ and preached
with extraordinary power for the rest of his life. He also exercised
the gift of ‘a word of knowledge’ sometimes revealing,
with amazing accuracy, the private details of those to whom he ministered.
The bulk of his revival ministry was in Yorkshire, Nottingham, Sheffield,
Leeds, Bradford, Sunderland, and etc. He saw genuine awakenings everywhere
he went. His policy was to expect a revival and he would devote himself
to prayer until the blessing came.
This book is a brief but powerful introduction to the life of this
extraordinary man. |
