4.0 out of 5 stars Practical lessons from ancient prophets, June 6, 2000

By 

Robert A. Terrell - See all my reviews

This review is from: Men of Character: Elijah: Remaining Steadfast Through Uncertainty (Paperback)

"Elijah" is a decently written book that covers the life of Elijah. The main purpose of the book seems to be bringing present life-lessons from the prophe's life. This book is not a history book, instead it reviews what Elijah experienced, considers how he responded to those experiences, and then relates these responses to present struggles that the modern reader might have. The book is good for what it is meant to be.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Read on the Life of Elijah, August 11, 2007

This review is from: Men of Character: Elijah: Remaining Steadfast Through Uncertainty (Paperback)

Elijah is an excellent introduction to the life of Elijah the Prophet, a man who stood up to Ahab and Jezebel, defeated Baal priests, was fed by ravens, and saw mighty miracles by God. Yet he, like the rest of us males, was just a man who was vulnerable to the struggles and issues we face today.

The book is around 180 pages and consists of 12 chapters that deal with various aspects of Elijah's life, whether he was standing up to the idolatry prevalent in his day or his need for deep spiritual and physical rest.

Elijah is one of the titles in the Men of Character series and is an excellent introduction to the prophet's life. Admittingly the writing is tailored more for the layperson or the Christian leader who wants a spiritual growth read as opposed to a deep theological study.

Highly recommended! Read and enjoy.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Eye Opener, June 3, 2009

By 

Need to Read (Lake Charles, LA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Men of Character: Elijah: Remaining Steadfast Through Uncertainty (Paperback)

I have read about Elijah on several different occasions but the author does an awesome job bringing his character to light. Elijah was a man that dealt with ups and downs and highs and Lows but through it all he never took his eye off of God. I also used the bible to follow along with the author text and it was right on the money. I recommend this book and the author for anyone that is interested in taking a more in depth look at Elijah. This book was a true eye-opener.
