This is a pretty good study of Elijah. Though the theology is a bit dated and conservative in nature it still offers some good analysis and some interesting questions for thought and study.

The illustrations offered of some of the theological principles are from Kendall's own experience and they add a personal touch to the theological reflections. I used this as the starting point of discussion in a group study and found it adequate with updates on some of the theological understandings. ( )

This book is about the life of Elijah from the Bible. There are numerous life lessons using stories from his life covering a wide variety of situations.

These didn’t seem like mere words or teachings but they are anointed with the fire of the author’s experiences. I found Dr. Kendall to be extremely wise, transparent and open.

The author does not compromise. He “tells it like it is”. That is refreshing.

He includes lots of thought provoking questions and lots of what I like to call prayer fodder.

Since the life lessons include such a wide variety of circumstances and this author is his usual very wise self, I find it hard to imagine that anyone would not find at least one gem of wisdom for themselves in this book.
