More About the Author

John White was born in Liverpool, England, on March 5, 1924, and grew up in Manchester. After serving as a reconnaissance photographer in the Fleet Air Arms during World War II, he completed medical training at Manchester University. He later participated in a variety of short-term missions efforts (including Bible smuggling!) and captitalized on many opportunities to encourage Christians behind the Iron Curtain during the beginning of the Cold War.

On June 25, 1955, White married Laureate May O'Hara. From 1955 to 1964 he served as a medical missionary with New Tribes Mission. Later he was appointed associate general secretary of the International Fellowship of Evangelical Students of Latin America.

White emigrated to Canada with his family in 1965 and later completed his residency in psychiatry in Winnipeg, Manitoba. He next filled the post of associate professor of psychiatry at the University of Manitoba and also served locally as pastor of Church of the Way.

He wrote 25 books as well as numerous articles and study guides. A much sought-after speaker, he lectured around the world at churches, conferences and leadership events. During his later life, White moved to Vancouver, British Columbia, helping to plant a Vineyard church there (Surrey Vineyard) and becoming involved in the larger Vineyard Christian Fellowship.

John White died in 2002, but his written ministry lives on, with over 1.5 million of his books in print.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Awesome book for C. S. Lewis fans, July 10, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Gaal the Conqueror (Archives of Anthropos) (Paperback)
Gaal the Conqueror is an amazing book. It is an allegory that is very creatively written. The part about Gaal on the altar represents that Jesus died for us on the cross and the wine of free pardon is amazingly like the unconditional forgivess of the Lord Jesus. I recommend the entire Archives of Anthropos series to any fantasy buff or Narnia fan.

5.0 out of 5 stars fun to read, January 8, 2005
A Kid's Review
This review is from: Gaal the Conqueror (Archives of Anthropos) (Paperback)
Watch your step because you could fall into Anthropos any time.

Gaal sent John on a mission with a friend named Eleanor. They had to capture a evil sorcerer named Shagah. This sorcerer put a whole village under a spell to do his bidding. It was a very difficult task they had to pass through many enchanted forests and escaped the claws of death many times. The fighting was intense with goblins bodies liquefying and foul stenches rising from the body. They finally trapped Shagah by hanging his picture on the wall and he was pulled in the picture. Then John and Eleanor returned to their own world by using a magical staff.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not White's best. . ., March 12, 2006
By 
This review is from: Gaal the Conqueror (Archives of Anthropos) (Paperback)
As a child, I loved The Tower of Geburah and the Iron Sceptre, and later on found the Sword Bearer and really enjoyed that,too. White's Gaal is one of the best Christ figures I've come across, right up there with Aslan. Which is why this book came as a bit of a disappointment. The encounters with Gaal/the Changer weren't nearly as powerful in this story as they were in the preceding novels. (Although here and there Eleanor's descriptions to John of Gaal seem to pack a little of the usual zing)
Also, Gaal's self sacrificial death (and much of the journeying John and Eleanor do through the enchanted forest) is so heavy-handedly symbolic as to short circuit any empathy on the part of the reader. I'm afraid I stuck this one out for mostly sentimental reasons.
