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 Everything Kundalini, February 14, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Kundalini, Evolution and Enlightenment (Omega Book) (Paperback)

I put this book right next to Healing the Split by John Nelson as two of the best books on Kundalini. One reason is that they both holistically look at theories, personal accounts and scientific research. They also explore individual/social relationships. Both are very well rounded and grounded books that should always available on the market!

....because while it's an excellent collection by leading experts on kundalini phenomenon, some of them use their space in the book to evangelize their own particular brands of enlightenment. I've heard enough of that not to want more. Still, the book itself belongs on the shelf of students of both kundalini and Spiritual Emergence. A useful resource.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent source for the beginning seeker., August 27, 1998

This book provides one of the broadest views on the subject of Kundalini. The various teachers provide their views and experience on the subject. It is perhaps the best book for someone to get aquainted with the concept of Kundalini. I highly recommend this book, as well as any book by Gopi Krishna.
