Elijah was a man who left his familiar world and ventured into the lion's den to fulfill God's mission. And Elijah was a man of prayer. He discussed everything, including his concerns for his land and his people, with his Lord. In doing so, he had to discover that those who want to live passionately with and for God must also be willing to endure personal suffering. The popular author Noor van Haaften, known for her thorough biblical interpretation, provides the reader with deep insights into the multifaceted life of Elijah. At the same time, it sparks curiosity about what a life fully devoted to God can become. People like Elijah, who dare to swim against the tide, are still needed today. Questions at the end of each chapter challenge the reader to apply the biblical insights to their personal life. This makes the book particularly suitable.
