Reseña del libro "Formula for Raising the Dead and the Baptism of Fire (en Inglés)"
2023 Reprint of the 1960 edition. Full facsimile of the original edition and not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. "Little is known of Franklin Hall's background. His birth and death are unknown. Along with many others of the depression era Hall grew up in rural poverty and was deeply religious. Initially he was with the Methodist church but their stance against healing forced him elsewhere. During the depression and World War II he traveled as an independent evangelist. When the revival erupted after World War II, Hall was there. He contributed to the revival a distinctive doctrine which, while it did not enrich him, had a phenomenal impact. Franklin Hall himself never attracted a large following. He considered himself a teacher rather than a healing evangelist. He worked in combination with a series of preachers, including "Little David" Walker, the most famous early child evangelist. Isolated by a somewhat deviant doctrine and less talented as a preacher than many of his competitors, Franklin Hall hung on through the fifties with the same tenacity that had helped him survive during the depression. In small churches and auditoriums across the nation he continued to teach with fervor his message of prayer and fasting and healing. When hard times came to the revival in the late 1950s, it was nothing new to Franklin Hall. He had an instinct for survival. Scores like him roamed the countryside. Unlike some faith healers, Hall emphasized teaching. His extremist views in the area of fasting and healing were considered unacceptable to many evangelists. He attributes the demise of the revival of the 1950s to the lack of fasting and to spiritual coasting by the leaders. Extreme in the area of healing, he held to a "body-felt salvation." Accordingly, the fire of the Holy Spirit, if fully applied to a person (which would take about thirty days), would eliminate the potential for sickness, tiredness, and even body odor. These extremes and the discipline they entailed severely limited his following. Hall wrote several books, including Glorified Fasting (1961), The Fasting Prayer (1947), The Body-Felt Salvation (1968), Formula for Raising the Dead (1960), and Our Divine Healing Obligation..."
