Bosworth’s ‘Christ the Healer’ found in Maya Angelou’s personal library

Like millions of people before her, Maya Angelou was probably a reader of F.F. Bosworth. According to a 2015 post on Facebook, his book, “Christ the Healer,” was found in her personal library following her death on May 28, 2014, in Winston-Salem, N.C.

Bishop Paul Francis Lanier of  Hope Community Church, Winston-Salem, shared this news on Sept. 9, 2015. He wrote:

“Following service a precious member of many years and dear friend presented me an amazing gift …. It was a copy of F.F. Bosworth’s “Christ the Healer.” Of course, I love this book. Even more special, when I opened it I discovered that it came from the personal library of Maya Angelou. Many of Dr. Angelou’s things were sold recently at an auction. I just think it is the coolest thing that she had Brother Bosworth’s book, and that someone thought of me when they saw it. So blessed. So very blessed.”

Lanier graciously shared images of the book, including one with a yellow sticker attached (inside the front cover) with the words: “This Book is from the Library of Maya Angelou.”

Friends of Lanier quickly responded with congratulatory comments. “Wow .. doubly cool,” replied Donna Schambach. One friend shared, “What a treasure to your heart.” Another wrote: “My copy stays on my desk. I refer to it often. No words can explain the Power of God that was present with F.F. Bosworth as it was written!”

“I have that great book!,” posted one friend. “Surprised that Maya Angelou also had it!”

While we don’t know if Angelou actually read the book, we are certain that it was inside her home. Given her love of books and her voracious appetite for reading, there’s a good chance that she did indeed read Bosworth’s book. Even so, it would be interesting to know how she acquired the book and what she thought of it.

Just over a year after her death, Laster’s Fine Art & Antiques hosted an estate sale at her house in Winston-Salem. Through that sale, people acquired her furniture, artworks, and books, among other things.

F.F. Bosworth's Defense of Divine Healing

A look at his use of the 'Notable Data Argument' (NDA)

Ever wonder about F.F. Bosworth’s debate skills? Or his method of argument? I’m analyzing his work as an apologist for divine healing. I’m developing a concept I term the “Notable Data Argument” or #NDA (based on Acts 4:16). It’s a work in progress. #NotableDataArgument

F.F. Bosworth Mentioned in P.C. Nelson's book, Does Christ Heal Today? (1941)

"I heard of the wonderful, miraculous cures in the Bosworth meetings in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and went down there to investigate for myself. I saw many deaf who had received hearing, blind who had regained sight, lame who had been made to walk, and I heard scores of people testifying to the wonderful healing power of Christ." -- P.C. Nelson

What F.F. Bosworth and David J. du Plessis had to say about James Moore Hickson, the 'Miracle Man' in the Anglican church

#FFBosworth

In this blog post, the writer shows how Anglican layman James Moore Hickson was viewed by F.F. Bosworth and David J. du Plessis. Bosworth cited him as one of several "eminent men" in "Christ the Healer." Du Plessis described him as a "great apostle" of God. To critics, Hickson was nothing more than a fraud, but to his supporters, in the United States and other nations, he was truly a "Miracle Man" who brought healing to multitudes. Hickson reportedly saw his mission as helping the church to rediscover the power of Christ and the ministry of divine healing.
