Exploring the depths of Elijah's fascinating life as a prophet of God in Great Lives: Elijah, Charles Swindoll does not gloss over his human weaknesses; rather, he presents an honest picture of this ordinary man whom God transformed into His personal spokesman to confront idolatry and evil in the ancient world. // Alone, Elijah faced off with over four hundred prophets of the false god Baal...and won. Yet, on another occasion, he became so terrified of a woman that he ran for his life. He was Elijah - the man in a whirlwind, the humble hero. // In a world that has lost its way, due in part to the lack of balanced, godly leadership, we are more than ever in need of a few Elijah - like men and women who are not afraid to live courageously among their peers as they walk humbly with God.
