Rees Howells' God Challenges the Dictators, Doom of Axis Powers Predicted: Victory for Christian England and Release of Europe Through Intercession and Spiritual Warfare, Bible College of Wales

I could not take prayers that morning because I was carried away in the spiritual realms reading my book – Rees Howells, January 1940. Discover the full story of the thrilling and fascinating chronicles of how Rees Howells wrote and published his only work: God Challenges the Dictators at the beginning of World War II. In his own words, Rees Howells describes his life of faith, the founding and ministry of the Bible College of Wales, his predictions and replies to controversy. Learn how his spiritual battles against Adolf Hitler and the spirit behind Nazism began several years before the war, as he predicted the destruction of the Third Reich, began to rescue Jews across Europe and set up a Home of Refuge for child refugees. Centered around World War II, God Challenges the Dictators (GCD) includes historical analysis from intercessors and friends of Rees Howells, the complete text of GCD with annotations, letters to Prime Minister Winston Churchill and others, press releases, quotes from Rees Howells, alongside adverts, newspaper articles and many never-before-seen published images. Copies of GCD were sent to British government officials and Prime Ministers, and extracts were aired over occupied parts of Europe, whilst Hitler and leading Nazi officials were sent copies in 1940! The more I read the book the more wonderful it seemed…I used to read my book in the early hours of the morning and was really thrilled with it – Rees Howells, during WWII. This book serves as an important historical document on the lessons of faith and predictions that Rees Howells and his team of intercessors at the Bible College of Wales learned during the twentieth century. It helps place us in the midst of those exciting years of faith and provides guidance for anyone who moves in the prophetic. With twenty-four black and white digitally enhanced photos. There was a real message in the book and I thought one day, ‘Have I ever picked up a book so full of predictions as this one?’ – Rees Howells. Marvel and be shocked at the air-raids over Swansea and the 44 attacks over several years, what Rees Howells said during many College meetings, the fear of invasion by the Third Reich, judgment on the Nazi regime, the Belsen Trial of 1945 and the Nuremberg Trials of 1945-1946. Be encouraged and stimulated in faith by the Bible College of Wales Annual Report for 1945 (less than two weeks after V. E.
