"These Old Testament lives are full of vital meaning to our ordinary lives. Because no life is ordinary! It is only ordinary in itself. It is extraordinary in this cooperation with God!" Norman Grubb Journeys of Faith is a book of the discovery of our own lives in each life from the Old Testament. You will repeatedly recognize yourself while discovering revolutionary truths about these well-known 'friends' from our family history! Abraham...Isaac & Jacob...Moses...Joseph...David...Esther...Job...... Journeys of Faith begins with Job, considered the first book written, and sets the stage for the other books. God took Job from seeing life and God from a 'consciousness of separation' to seeing with a single eye...God only! We've heard these stories told in church, Sunday school class, Bible study, Hollywood movies and in our own personal reading as we sought to understand more of God, His people and His ways. Norman Grubb makes these all too familiar stories new. They come alive because he walked the same tests of faith victorious given to these men and women by God. Much of our previous thinking and teaching about these people in Biblical history will 'collide' with and be expanded by Mr. Grubb's sweeping insight and his always upward and reconciling view of life, of God and of His ways. If you have ever questioned God and His actions in the Old Testament, you will find this book will intrigue you...for you are certain to find new meaning in the One who "is upholding all things". As Norman talks about those who lived so long ago we see how each life expresses a similar pattern...the PROCESS of faith...as God trains them to live and walk, not by human efforts, but by trusting in Someone they could only know within. Through difficulties they discovered that God never intended them to bring about His plans for their lives. That was only His to do! Their answer was only and always to "walk by faith, not by sight." From Abraham through Esther we see how they learned to live in a way new to each one. With Moses we find God taking His people into a further level of His plan for humanity. Moses is most often remembered for the Ten Commandments. That was the first step of God's preparation to reveal to them their sin. But His greatest accomplishment through Moses was the building of the Tabernacle, the outer representation of the true tabernacle - people - who are "temples of the living God." Through God's interaction with him Moses became settled in knowing that he spoke and acted as God to the people, and ultimately that he was an intercessor for them. Moses' intercession made the way for the Israelites to enter the Promised Land. What a picture of the coming Christ - the Intercessor for us! God prepares us through the law, which exposes our sin, in order to move into a new relationship with Him - one of grace and mercy and freedom - knowing "I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me" - a living tabernacle with the living God inside! Norman's motto was "Not God and...but God only!" He continually saw a life of unity...oneness...union. This is what you will experience throughout Old Testament Journeys of Faith, Their lives...and our lives!

How did the faith and prayers of a humble coal miner affect the course of WWII? Rees Howells updated biography of Norman Grubb tells the story of one man who progressed in faith until his prayers even altered world events. Written with humanity and humor, this book uncovers the rich truths of the Spirit.

In a college room at Cambridge University in 1920 twenty four young men, who had heard God's call to the mission field, knew they wanted to keep in touch after they had gone their separate, God-appointed ways. They had formed a close bond during the previous years at Cambridge as they prayed together, studied their Bibles together and shared their faith in Jesus Christ with fellow students, calling themselves the Cambridge University Missionary Band (C.U.M.B.). In the next seventy years these men would be involved in worldwide movements of the Holy Spirit. This book contains the letters of one member of the Band, Norman Percy Grubb. Although not at the inaugural meeting because he was already in the Belgian Congo with C.T. Studd, Norman was one in heart with his brothers. They shared intimately with each other-their successes, sorrows, joys and failures. In these letters spanning the years 1922 thru 1989, you will find men of faith; men with a heart and passion to share their Saviour; ordinary men; extraordinary men; men involved in many great and worldwide movements of the Spirit and simple men with a lifelong love for their Lord, their families and each other. You will find yourself caught up in history and inspired as you share in the lives of these "called" men of God.

This book illustrates the position of the believer as a container for Gods presence. It then explains how to become a container and how to take the first steps of growth in the Christian life.Norman Grubb was a notable missionary statesman. As a student at Cambridge, he was one of the founders of what ultimately became InterVarsity Christian Fellowship. His early work as a missionary was in the Congo with C.T. Studd, who he followed as the Director of what is now WEC International. A highly sought after speaker, Norman Grubb was often chosen as a devotional speaker at Presidential Prayer Breakfasts.

Living by Unseen Realities.

In the history of missions, the career of C. T. Studd is exemplary. Grubb shows how the great sportsman renounced wealth and position to take up work for Christ--serving his Lord in China, India, and Africa.
