Elisha A Prophet for our Times F.W. KRUMMACHER (1796–1868) 272 page, paperback book that has an artistic book cover of an ancient day prophet. This book was recommended by Dr. Olsen as one of the readings with sound teachings to replace the worldly entertainment type Christianity in today's time.
Krummacher brings together the human heart and scripture in his sermons. This book will get past the "sound bites" or "pop Christianity". As a servant of Elijah, profit Elisha faced uncertainty as the enemies' armies were pressing in and watched as God delivered him from fear as heaven was opened to him and he realized they were surrounded by angels.
Some People never fear death, but many do. Those who'd like to find out if there's anything to God, consider Elisha who at times didn't believe, for you unbelievers out there, that God was helping them when—according to Elijahs prayer, "Lord, open his eyes" as the army swept toward them to kill. Heaven opened and Elisha had seen the heaven was full of angels protecting them. Afterwards Elisha the prophet asked for all of the power given to Elijah to remain on him.
Complete with an introduction by Edward Bickersteth from the Watton Rectory, November 8, 1838. In the introductory the writer encourages a renewal of the study of the old testament. Because mankind can be short sighted and have feeble faith, the study of the old testament—and these prophets of old—have also spoken of Christ and the truth, grace, and glory of Christ.
This book was translated into 14 languages, and well received by Britain and the USA, its now back in print. It's structured chapter-by-chapter and this makes it perfect for small group or Sunday school classes. It would be ideal for daily-weekly reading, readers are instructed, challenged, enriched, and encouraged.
The book would be great for church collections and libraries, makes a great gift for professors or students in Bible college who are interested in Reformed resources.
If you, or someone you know, is struggling with death or dying, or trying to find solace while the world around you mocks or tramples your faith, in this book you'll find great Biblical encouragement and peace of Christ dwell in your mind and heart though hurting and sorrowful.
The prophet raised the dead and nothing harmed God's people. He shows this while the waters pass over you, you'll find a boat to rest in. Though you find worries and stressors in this life, you may find in God that they don't land on you. Although troubled Christians are buffeted time and again by Satan, the power of His cleansing blood renews his strength hourly. You can find comfort in Jesus.
