The Radical Life of Elijah

The prophet Elijah is one of the most dynamic figures in the Bible. Dr. Douglas Jacoby not only explains the pivotal role that Elijah plays between the Old and New Testaments, but he explores the depth of his commitment as a prophet of God. As the Scriptures state, Elijah was a man like us, so he had his share of failures, but he also rose above the deteriorating climate of his culture and called people back to God.

We can learn from Elijah and make a difference in our own culture. Dr. Jacoby explores the character of Elijah and what we can apply to our Christian walk. Here are some of the things you will learn from the ministry of Elijah:

• The difference between true and false prophets
• The importance of calling people back to God
• How to resist the lure of the world, its temptations, false hopes, and empty promises
• How to fight materialism and allegiance to the government above devotion to God
• The need to care for the underprivileged, the marginalized, the poor, and the orphans
• The necessity of taking a stand against sin and false teaching
• Positive steps to fight depression and hopelessness
• The nature and purpose of miracles in Elijah's ministry
• Practicals on mentoring and training others for service to God
• How Elijah serves as a bridge between the Old and New Testaments
