Elijah: Man of Fire, Man of Faith
Digital Verbum Edition
Overview
In Elijah’s Israel of 900 BC, truth was often compromised as the people steadily departed from the worship of the one true God. It was a multifaith society where immorality reached the highest level. Tolerance trumped truth, much like Western society today. What are Christians to do in such a spiritual and moral climate? Elijah is our great example and inspiration as we dare to contend for the truth, even challenging the religious establishment if necessary. What could be more relevant for the Christian church at the present time?
Cheeseman clears the head, warms the heart, and imparts much nourishment by his comments on the story. His book will reward prayerful readers.
