Customer Reviews

Elijah is one of the best!

When you finish reading this book you will have a very good outline of Elijah's life. It is easy reading but detailed in content. I have bought several of these for friends and family.

What A Mighty God We Serve

This incredible book gives an exposition of the life and ministry of Elijah as revealed to us in Holy Scripture. Every nuance of meaning in Scripture is discussed. Dr. Pink shows himself a great partisan of Elijah's boldness and integrity. Even as Elijah expressed his self pity at Mt. Horeb, and experienced the tender mercies of the Lord, I found myself not merely reading about Elijah, but felt as though I were actually present at the events described. It seemed I was made privy to the innermost thoughts of Elijah, and the mind of God Himself was revealed to me. Dr. Pink's commentary unlocks the Scripture. This book not only gives tremendous insight into Elijah's attitudes and behavior as well as to the `ways of the Lord,' but is filled with useful suggestions for every believer and for ministers of the gospel. We are called to greater boldness in speaking out against sin. We are called to greater fervency in prayer, and Pink notes "the motive prompting them [our prayers] and the petition itself must alike be right." (p.158) Elijah's prophetic ministry, especially as revealed by this volume, is a great antidote to the sentimentality and diluted preaching that is offered up from many pulpits today.

Thoughts on "Elijah" by Arthur Pink

This book is a well written and thought provoking exposition of the life of the Old Testament prophet Elijah.

Much practical application

Once again Pink doesn't dissappoint. In this easy to read volume, Pink looks at the events and happenings of the life of Elijah. He analyses these events, drawing attention to easily overlooked details and historical context. Pink then makes very clear application to the life of the Believer. In doing this, the reader is both challenged and stirred. Pink's ability to exergete a passage in this way is a lesson in itself. He relates the Scriptures in the manner in which I'm sure God intended them when they were written. If you love the Word of God, you will thoroughly enjoy this book.
