|
 |
Both Volume I and Volume II are available. Knight of Faith: The letters of Norman Percy Grubb - Volume I and Volume II Norman Grubb's letters published in three volumes will reveal a remarkable, yet very human, person who spent a lifetime seeking God's face, believing " by virtue of the absurd" and relentlessly sharing in every way possible that which God had given him. The world will not always recognize the true knight but he is there . . . butcher, baker or candlestick maker . . . or . . . a housewife with a vision of the impossible!

Norman Percy Grubb was born Aug. 2, 1895 in England. Although his father was an Anglican pastor and he was raised in a Christian home when he was a teenager he was asked by a family friend if he belonged to Christ. It was then that he asked Jesus Christ to be his savior.
He was educated at Trinity College in Cambridge and while there had the vision for Inter-Varsity Fellowship, now known as Inter-Varsity Christian Fellowship. He served in WW I and was injured and sent home to recover. While in the hospital he was given a tract telling of C. T. Studd’s work in the Belgian Congo. He knew God’s call for him to join this work.
In the months to come he met and married Studd’s daughter, Pauline and they sailed for Africa to join her father. After serving the Africans Norman found himself in a dire predicament. He found he could not love them as he knew God would have him do. It was then that God gave him and Pauline a verse that would be the cornerstone for the rest of his life’s work...Galatians 2:20.
“I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.”
Norman and Pauline remained in the Congo for ten years. Their first child, Noel, died there. God gave them three more children, Paul, Priscilla and Daniel. Norman remained with the mission group began by C. T. Studd, Worldwide Evangelization Crusade, until his retirement in 1965.
His retirement turned out to be God’s redirection for his life. He traveled the U.S. and England until he was 95 years old sharing Paul’s mystery of the gospel. Christ in you, the hope of glory...presenting every man perfect in Christ coupled with Gal 2:20 was the foundation for him to give to the body of Christ their full inheritance in their salvation.
He was bedridden the last three years of his life and God took him home on December 15, 1993.
Norman wrote
many books in his lifetime of a theological nature and also biographies of great
men and women of faith as well as numerous articles for magazines, booklets and
