Elijah Bible Study Book

Description

Old Testament heroes are best known for their most celebrated moments: Moses dividing the Red Sea; David slaying Goliath; Gideon routing an insurmountable army; Joshua marching around the defiant walls of Jericho. And Elijah—calling down fire on Mount Carmel. Blinded by the remarkable narratives of our biblical heroes, we can forget they each had a backstory—months and years of development, even difficulty, which fortified their spiritual muscle and prepared them for the tasks that made their lives unforgettable. Every serious believer longs to summon up the kind of boldness and faith that can stand firm on Mount Carmel and pray down heaven into impossible situations. Yet few are willing to go through the process required to get them there. Strength of faith, character, and boldness can only be shaped in the hidden fires of silence, sameness, solitude, and adversity. Those who patiently wait on God in the darkness emerge with their holy loyalty cemented, their courage emblazoned, and their confident belief in Him set afire. Join Priscilla Shirer on this 7-session journey through the life and times of the prophet Elijah to discover how the fire on Mount Carmel was forged in the valley of famine. And how the emboldened, fiery faith you desire is being fashioned by God in your life right now.

Review: A Powerful and Deeply Transformative Study - Elijah: Faith and Fire is not just another Bible study—it’s an immersive, thought-provoking journey into the life of one of Scripture’s most powerful prophets. Priscilla Shirer masterfully weaves together historical context, biblical insight, and personal application, making this study incredibly engaging and spiritually rich. One of the standout aspects of this book is how it bridges the gap between Elijah’s experiences and our modern faith struggles. His unwavering trust in God through seasons of drought, opposition, and uncertainty is deeply relevant to anyone navigating trials today. Shirer challenges readers to examine their own faith and dependence on God, leading to personal reflection and transformation. The study is well-structured, with a mix of scripture reading, guided questions, and real-life application. Whether you’re doing this solo or in a group, it fosters deep discussion and self-examination. I especially appreciated the emphasis on prayer and listening for God’s voice—a reminder that true strength comes not from ourselves but from surrendering to Him. If you’re looking for a Bible study that will deepen your faith, challenge your spiritual walk, and encourage you to trust God more fully, this is it. Highly recommend for personal study, small groups, or church ministries. Review: Elijah - Love the book it is very informative enjoying the Bible study
