Elijah, the fiery prophet, lived in a time of intense spiritual darkness. People were openly disobeying God's commands and true worship seemed to have been all but snuffed out, yet God was still at work! Bringing the power of his word and Spirit into this situation, he used Elijah to break the darkness and to draw people back to himself. This fascinating encounter with Elijah draws out his significance in God's plan and provides us with practical help to live for Christ in the spiritual darkness of the twenty- first century. Each chapter includes questions and points for reflection, making this an ideal book to be used in small groups or for personal study and devotion.
