John Whittle's book man ALIVE is available through Union Life Ministry. Their address is listed below the Contents list. As this work is still in print we will no longer present the entire book on our web site. We will focus on two chapters as an introduction to this enlightened work. Certainly John Whittle was called "up" to a higher understanding of "the things of God," and we are in unity with Norman Grubb as he states, in his Foreword, "for so long I have known that John had great riches of understanding in "the mystery of God." We do encourage each reader to obtain this work and feast to their hearts content.

FOREWORD

      I suppose it is inevitable that I write approvingly of this little book by John Whittle. John and I have been closest companions for over 25 years in seeking to share with others the union relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ -- for us, in us, and by us -- which is to us the meaning of human living, both on its basis of scriptural revelation and as implanted in our own consciousness. We have traveled thousands of miles together, talking out to the last detail as we traveled how we were progressively seeing things, and have participated in hundreds of public meetings and house groups. In most of these I have done the speaking; but for so long I have known that John had great riches of understanding in "the mystery of God," and a much better clarity of public speaking than I, that I urged him to put into writing what God had so plainly made living to him. At last he has done this, and how glad I am. I am sure this will confirm to many what the Apostle John says we who are the Lord's already inwardly know by "the anointing of the Holy one," but often have not consciously and boldly affirmed; or alternatively, this will come as the sunshine of new revelation to burdened, striving servants of Christ who by no means find what He said to be the fact: "My yoke is easy and My burden is light."
        By the privilege of God's call, John and I for all our serving lives have been immersed in the worldwide spread of the gospel through the Crusade founded by C.T. Studd, The Worldwide Evangelization Crusade; and this is still our first-line calling.
                                                                                                                                                                Norman P. Grubb
