Why a Book on Elijah and Elisha? Because Christians today confront the same issues Elijah and Elisha did: strong spiritual attacks from evil powers operating in the world, the temptation to sacrifice faith through compromise, and the tendency to concentrate on form rather than essence in spiritual life. Because Elijah and Elisha dealt with the key issues of the faith: Christian formation through listening and obeying God, true solitude, prayer, living by faith, compassion, justice, single-minded and wholehearted devotion to God, and evangelism and mission.
