The Life of Elijah

By: Arthur W. Pink

Narrated by: David Cochran Heath

The life of Elijah has gripped the thought and imagination of preachers and writers in all ages. His sudden appearance out of complete obscurity, his dramatic interventions in the national history of Israel, his miracles, his departure from the earth in a chariot of fire all serve to that end. He comes in like a tempest, who went out like a whirlwind, says Bishop Hall; the first we hear from him is an oath and a threat. Judgement and mercy were mingled throughout Elijah's astonishing career.

It is fitting that the lessons which may be drawn from Elijah's ministry should be presented afresh to our generation. History repeats itself. The wickedness and idolatry rampant in Ahab's reign live in our gross 21st century's profanities and corruptions. False prophets occupy large spheres of influence and truths dear to our evangelical forefathers have been downtrodden as the mire in the streets. A.W. Pink clearly felt called to the task of smiting the ungodliness of the age with the rod of God's anger while at the same time encouraging the faithful remnant. With these objects he undertakes the exposition of Elijah's ministry and applies it to the contemporary situation.

Enlightened

Learned how much his life applies to us and thats its not just a bio of destruction but of hope

Necessary Read for Christians today.

Proof God never changes where are todays discerners of truth?
He compares todays Jezebel as being the apostate church.

Surprisingly Relevant and Convicting for Today

A very good exposition on the life of Elijah. I’ve read and heard many things about this Old Testament prophet and this author did an excellent job connecting us today to Elijah and his faith of centuries ago.
I did not agree with everything A.W. Pink believed, but was challenged and convicted by what he taught and how relevant it is still today.

will be listening again

covered Elijah but encompassed all of scripture.
great lessons for all of us in all ages

Insightful even for today

I quit watching TV to get through this book. It was insightful from both a Christian and a Jewish perspective. I read the story, but didn't see it through the eyes of a biblical scholar of the 1950's. The original publication in 1956 makes it my age. He accurately predicted what would happen to our American culture before it happened. I now know how to move forward after reading this book. Thanks to the publishers for such a well produced audio book.
