Overview
How did the faith and prayers of a humble coal miner affect the course of World War II? Rees Howells’ updated biography by 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 Holy Spirit. Norman Grubb, the son of an Irish clergyman, was born in 1895. He was a decorated war hero, receiving the Military Cross for his service in the Gloucester regiment during World War I. After the war, he attended Trinity College, Cambridge, and married Pauline Studd, the daughter of the famous missionary, C.T. Studd. The Grubbs served as missionaries to the Belgium Congo where Norman translated the New Testament into the African trade language, Bangala. After Studd’s death in 1931, Norman served as British and General Secretary of the Worldwide Evangelization Crusade until 1965. He was instrumental in the formation of the Christian Literature Crusade and the beginnings of Intervarsity Fellowship. Mr. Grubb is the author of Rees Howells, Intercessor, the acclaimed biography of the Welsh coal miner who became the founder of the Bible College of Wales.
