He and his wife were an interesting couple. They couldn't have children and Pink was the kind of man that no church was good enough for, but in their rather isolated way, God drew them into deep fellowship with Himself. Pink was no light weight and neither are his books. They are all very, very Biblical, detailed and very close to the scriptures he so loved and revered. He quotes scripture continually and this book is no exception. You will find any work by him will really challenge you, grow your faith and led you into a closer walk with Jesus! Highly recommended. ( ) 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. This book though quite dated still remains one of the few that focuses on the life of the Jewish prophet Elijah. Elijah the Tishbite is virtually unknown except in the Jewish Scriptures hence this biography. Mr. Pink is unafraid to show both the good & not so good side of this prophet. From the bold declarations to a lawless king to his flight from a threat from the king's consort, Mr. Pink holds nothing back. Yet through it all, he is sympathetic to Elijah whose common failings we can relate. There is, however, a strong anti-Catholic rant which flares here & there. In this, Mr. Pink allows his prejudices to blind him rather than to simply leave well enough alone. Nevertheless, in spite of this shortcoming, the work gives the reader a better view of Elijah's life in a time of laxed morals & injustices committed by the rulers & Elijah's challenge to stand firm against the prevailing winds of brutal oppression & cruel tyranny nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
