Great Lives: Elijah: A Man of Heroism and Humility (5) (Great Lives Series)

It is an insightful book on the life of an exceptional prophet. It is well written and most enjoyable. I ordered it for a class and am glad I got the book. Just so you know, there is a misprint and there are two chapters labeled chapter 7. Please pass this along to the printer.

This is the best Bible Study book. Written by Chuck Swindoll. Easy to under and a great way to grow deeper in your faith.

The three biggest influences on my preaching in the early years were John MacArthur, Tony Evans and Chuck Swindoll. They were all on the radio in Louisville when I was a student at The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. This is an excellent treatment of the life of the prophet Elijah. Not a technical treatise, but written in a devotional style. I heard Chuck Swindoll's voice in my head as I read it. He's 91 now and still preaching! What a role model!

Charles Swindoll is an inspired pastor and author. Elijah’s life is worth studying and his importance has been understated. In this book you’ll learn about his amazing life as a fearless prophet and miracle worker, and feel the depth of his humility before God. The first step was to submit to God, then be trained, then refined, then face death, which was for Elijah a trip in a chariot of fire straight to the Lord’s presence. Amazing book. Read it!

Good author - easy to understand content - informative.

Like so many of his books and his words with his slight lisp are like warm comfortable blanket. That our his deep insights and prospective that inspires along our own walk with the Lord of heaven.

Book came quicker than promised which I had hoped. It was in the condition as described snd a bit better.

Just like with any book it should be approached critically, or one will end up accepting something that is not completely correct. One of the downsides of this book specifically is that it esteems austerity of the scriptures actually detail that austerity is the embodiment of the carnal nature of which is an evil nature, and is therefore inline with the nature of the world making it more about the effort of mankind rather than Yah.

This book is so easy to read and full of insight. I could almost feel like I was watching the events unfold as he describes them.

Swindoll does another great job of bringing out the narrative of the story that by myself I often overlook. I enjoy this series.

The book is informative and inspiring. I was looking for a book for our study of Elijah and it is just right for us. It's great, easy to read and we are enjoying our study. I ordered another copy that I am waiting for. Thanks for the helpful reviews.

Every time afte finishing one of Charles's books, I think this was the best one! Thank you Carles, for making our Christian faith practical for everyday life. I've learnt so much from your books and the best of it is that it is all applicable to our everyday life. This makes it easier to grow your faith in a healthy manner because it is built on solid doctrine. Elijah is a most inspiring read.

Charles Swindoll is awesome. This is the fifth book from his great life series that I’ve read and it’s wonderful. Highly recommend
