When you take a look at our world today, it often seems as if society is imitating the decline of ancient Israel. In a historical blink of an eye, we are shedding old beliefs and grasping for new ones. What was unthinkable two decades ago is acceptable today. Yes, the world around us is changing . . . but the story of Elijah offers us hope. He shows us that one person praying to a living God is greater than 850 people praying to a dead one. He shows us how to find faith in a whitewater torrent of odd gods and bad odds.

Elijah's story is a field manual on how to thrive during a spiritual drought. In this study guide, which accompanies the book of the same name, you will explore his story and be reminded to:

• Wait for God in solitude and silence
• Pray impossible prayers
• Live with an expectation of divine disruption
• Turn to God during emotional lows
• Understand the spiritual battle we fight

Elijah's story will help calm your fears and guide your steps. Faith in our living God stirs a force for living life. With God's help and following Elijah's encouraging example, you will discover strength to ride the storm of this turbulent life with a steadfast faith.

The Audio Bible Studies series provides a unique audio learning experience.

These sessions will reflect the ambiance of the unique recording locations, immersing the listener into the teaching. While not required for the audio experience, these studies are designed to partner with the coordinating study guide, sold separately.
