The Law of Faith [Paperback]

Norman P. Grubb (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: April 1998

The Law of Faith is Norman Grubb's classic examination of faith--what it is and how it works in the life of the born-again believer. He explores the transition from natural faith to spiritual faith, from elementary to advanced faith, from the school of faith to the life of faith, and takes the believer through the strategy of faith to speaking the word of faith as an intercessor.

Norman Grubb's life demonstrated that he knew "how to walk the broad road of faith, how to save and maintain that touch with God, that living fruitful union with Him which in infinite grace and condescension He has given us as our inheritance in Christ." In The Law of Faith, Norman felt that he was "passing on to others the most precious secrets that God has taught [him]."

2.0 out of 5 stars Some false teaching, some good, April 19, 2011

I was all set to give this book 5 stars and was really enjoying it, finding some real helpful stuff in it with reference to prayer but then as i kept reading and got further into it some alarming stuff presented itself; the age-old heresies of Gnosticism, Name-it-and-claim-it (Word of Faith Movement), and panentheism are behind some of the teachings of this book by Norman Grubb. Panentheism is slightly different from Pantheism, i have learned, in that it is the belief that EVERYTHING in the universe is an expression of God (emphasis on EXPRESSION, rather than on "He is in everything"). This belief is inserted in such subtle fashion, as all heresies are. What is heresy? It is false doctrine; it is unbiblical. The book of Titus warns us to rebuke a heretic once or twice and after this have nothing more to do with him, etc. Frankly I was almost taken in by some of it, so extremely subtle is it, and so warmly presented.

So, while Norman Grubb had a few helpful things to say in certain chapters, such as What is Clear Guidance in Major Matters, and the corresponding chapter What is Clear Guidance in Minor Matters, I sadly cannot recommend either this book nor any of his others (except possibly the biography he wrote on Rees Howells). No current mainstream preacher/teacher or deceased mainstream preacher/teacher of good reputation has ever taught the beliefs of Norman Grubb, and this includes great men of God such as the Prince of Preachers C.H. Spurgeon and George Mueller (the latter whom Grubb mentions once in this book in reference to faith). Both would probably be appalled at some of Grubb's unbiblical teachings. If you do not have much knowledge of the numerous various heresies of the ages or are lacking in spiritual discernment then it would be best to brush up on this subject and save your money for something else. If not, proceed with caution.

I was charged $105.49 plus freight for this book. Now I see it for $10.00.
Why was I charged so much? Does not seem fair. I will not buy anymore books on Amazon as I do not like being over-charged for something. If you check my history,I have purchased a few books over the years.

This review is from: The Law of Faith (Paperback)

The most wonderful explanation of Faith ever written. . .the power of Romans 1 and 16 Where Paul says "the obedience of faith" a practical powerful book that will change your heart and reveal the Word as never before. . .like all of Grubb's books written with very proper old English, I imagine Cambridge did that to him. . .but very very insightful. This man has God living in and AS him. A must read for any Pastor!!!
