Elijah

An Ordinary Man In Extraordinary Times

by Bill Crowder English

About this item

Elijah was subject to the same emotions and moods as the rest of us.

As Jesus suffered on an executioner’s cross, onlookers thought they overheard Him calling for Elijah to come help Him. Someone immediately went to offer Him sour wine to ease His pain. Others said, “Leave Him alone. Let’s see if Elijah comes to save Him.” Why Elijah? Who is this prophet who made such an impact on the history of Israel that people were still talking about him hundreds of years later? In this booklet, Bill Crowder discovers insights in the story of Elijah that tell us a lot about our God—and about ourselves.
