Elijah the Pilgrim Prophet: A Study in the Life of Elijah the Tishbite

Biography! What interest! What enjoyment! Reading about the great characters that stride across our times and cast their shadows upon us when they have passed! We profit by them, learn to bypass their failures, gain courage from their strength in times of crucial stress and strain. We eagerly read or hear about our favorite characters fairly often.

For Christians, one of the unmistakably great Old Testament characters is Elijah the Tishbite, of the tribe of Naphtali. He has been written about for centuries by many authors. Ravens fed him, God-given power was his to raise a sorrowing widow's boy from death, the idolatrous priests of Baal on Mount Carmel heard the impact of his tremendous challenge, angels became his ministers, but alas, he was only human. He sank in despair and fled in fear from a wicked, designing woman.

You have read or heard about Elijah since your early years, but this author presents a portrait of him different in many respects from any other. Check your own down-sittings and uprisings with this book and its character delineator. It will do you good.
