The world is seeking shelter from the storms of life. It is so wonderful to be able to go to the pages of the Holy Bible and find places of refuge, words of comfort, and bridges over troubled waters. When those who study the Bible contemplate the life of the prophet Elijah, they might just concentrate on the actions things he did. Yes, God used Elijah mightily to show forth His Glory, but Elijah was not a man who went about working miracles continuously. Elijah had times of waiting on the Lord; he had times of loneliness; he had times of learning; he had times of fear and trepidation. But through it all God was holding him in His mighty hand. Pastor John Bell goes with Elijah to the brook Cherith where he is "waiting for the Ravens to come." This book offers a study into the workings of God in the lives of His people, and it offers hope to those who know what it feels like to be sitting by the brook, and to see it go dry. In his writings, "The Lord", "The Love", "The Last", Pastor Bell gives a panoramic view into the life of whom God took from the brook Cherith to the hieghts of Mount Carmel.
