Denver's Extraordinary Faith-Healing Messiah

The controversy surrounding faith healer Francis Schlatter remains as fascinating today as it was more than a century ago. Schlatter created a sensation throughout the country when word spread of his miraculous healing ability during the summer and fall of 1895. This book chronicles the extraordinary man and events through newspaper articles, interviews and descriptions. They paint a vivid picture of one of the strangest men who ever lived. Coming from nowhere, and disappearing as suddenly, he was reviled and worshipped by turn. Witnesses to the actual events penned the articles. These stand as testament to how little we understand of healing and those who, through powers beyond conventional wisdom, create miracles.
