We all love to read them! Here are a few excerpts from recent letters received by our Prison Ministry.
We give thanks to the Lord for the great work your ministry is doing, and that we, here in this prison, can have access to you and the help you offer. At this time we have about 30 people that are attending our services. We meet daily and talk about the Word of God, the miracles of God, and about how to walk a Christian walk.

May the Lord bless you in the work that you are doing. I want to tell you that I am really liking the books of Brother Branham and they are helping me to get closer to God.

I was in the library searching and saw a book by Brother Branham, thought I remember that name from somewhere. I remembered someone, (when I was very young) would read from his books. I remember one time I cried over a story about breaking a lamb’s leg. Well, I took the book back to my cell, but spent my time thinking of that story. I did remember the lamb would not listen, and the Sheppard broke its leg so it would learn. Then I started crying. Like that lamb I did not listen, now I am here. Please send me books of Brother Branham. I need guidance and prayer. I need God in my life.

I have just finished the booklet, Man Sent from God. I told my friend this is truly a man of God that can do these things. I tell you I have never been so enthused. Please send me books of Brother Branham.

I have been here 26 years. About five years ago I stopped practicing black magic. I got into it because I was hungry to believe in something. Then I met another inmate that no matter what I did he was not afraid, I thought he had great power. After months I told him he had much power because I was trying to get his spirit. He looked at me and smiled and walked off. More months went by and I went after him again, same results. I asked him, “What do you practice?” He said, “Nothing, I just believe.” I said I have strong voodoo, and he said something I’ll never forget, “Starving children will eat from the trash.” A while later he walked by, and said he was shipping out but wanted to give me a booklet. Well it took me about a year to make it through. There is very strong spirit on that book. I quit practicing black magic, and it is dead now. Another inmate came by saw that book I had and brought me another. So far I had A Prophet in South Africa and Thirst. I wanted more, then I saw on the board the picture of the prophet and the address. So I am asking for the Church Ages and more. I now have and read my Bible, I am a believer, and left that trash can behind. God bless the providers.

I had thought you forgot about me. I asked for material about two months ago and never received it. Then the property department called me up when I went there. They asked if I wanted this package or not, it had been there for months and they were cleaning out. I was confused, as I never heard about it. I went back to my bunk and started reading. Then it hit me, they were here all the time, but I was not ready for them. I know that now by the attitude I had then. Pray for me, as I have a long road to travel.

I have received the Church Age book and wanted to thank you dearly. We have such limited access to real Christian books and little to no access to Spirit filled books like these. I tell you this, around here Brother Branham’s name is spoken in reverence only. Never was there a man with such spiritual truth and clarity, and his work is rightly divided. After I read a book three times, I place it in the library and the next day it’s gone. I truly believe that everyone reads the books here.

God bless you for your work, so many lives have changed because of your actions. I am a believer and have been receiving books for a while. Once a month there is a leadership meeting here. It’s an important meeting and we get quizzed every meeting. I hate to admit it but I had to chuckle the first time I was invited. The subjects vary, but one thing is standard every meeting, is a chapter from the Church Ages. I was amazed and so very happy to hear that, what a blessing. Please send more Church Ages, they are changing lives.

I learned my Bible well over the years and could stand toe to toe with anyone that came here. Then I received the Seven Seals book. They talk about being knocked down a peg or two, how about hitting the basement and being buried; I had to roll over to look up. I never heard a man talk like this man, oh there was one on earth before, but that really was not a man, but God Man. I read things I would have never known, at least not the way I was going. See when you think you know something and can answer all the questions, you kind of stop studying. I found out they were all the wrong questions. There is a different level here and it’s kind of like stepping into a place where it’s not physical, but spiritual; it’s a big change. Thank you so much for sharing. Please send more, as all the books now have a different meaning to me.

I was looking through the bookshelf here and behind the other books was a worn and ragged book. The covers were gone and I was wondering why it was still here and not tossed. Someone wrote on it “Ages.” I was curious. Well, I read the book and read it again, and I’m half through the third time. I found your address and am asking if you could send a replacement, so it’s not in three pieces. I’d also like to have one for myself, I know that’s greedy but I want one, please. I thought about this and you know, I feel like this was all some plan.

For three years I have studied under the teaching of our precious prophet, Brother Branham. I owe my life to his teachings. I am a new man filled with the Spirit that only comes from God and I praise the Name of Jesus Christ for it! I grew up and went to school in TN. I married and raised a family. Then one day they came to where I worked, and asked for my papers. I did not know what they wanted until they asked my place of birth, Mexico I said. They told me I was illegal, and took me home. While there, they went through my papers and then took me away. My wife and children got left behind. It’s been three years now and the only reason I made it was this precious Message. I am both sad and happy, as I know it was the plan of God. I ask everyone to pray for me and my family, that all will be well. By the time you read this I will have been returned to Mexico, applying for a way back to my family, and telling everyone that there is a prophet in the land! Again, thank you for my new life and God bless everyone in my new family.

I have been receiving books for years now and each one I receive is like a renewing of my soul. Even when I re-read them it’s like a fresh cool drink of water just nourishing and refreshing. I admit it was a while till I understood that Brother Branham bypasses all the teachings that came down through the decades and takes you right to the Truth, right back to the original teachings when the apostle’s sandals touched the ground. Nothing added, nothing changed, how wonderful! The one thing that I find truly amazing is how these Truths have been tossed aside throughout the years and suppressed until God sent His prophet to once again bring them into the Light. Thank you Jesus! I can’t help it, I just can’t put the books down. I sit there with the Bible and go word by word.
