The Desperate Prophet: William Branham's Use of "Illusory Truth Effect" to Support False Prophecy

By John McKinnon

The Desperate Prophet examines William Branham's repeated claims surrounding his 1952 prophecy that hundreds of thousands would be converted through his overseas ministry. Drawing extensively from Branham's recorded sermons, the Author traces the development of the prophecy, the disappointing outcome of the India meetings, and Branham's later explanations and revisions. The book argues that repeated retelling of exaggerated accounts reinforced belief among followers despite contradictory evidence, illustrating the psychological principle known as the "Illusory Truth Effect." Thoroughly documented and chronologically organized, the work challenges readers to evaluate Branham's prophetic claims against Scripture and the historical record.
