You will notice that our character studies follow a specific format. Our hope is that by studying them you will be able to follow their good examples, but avoid their mistakes. Thus the lessons learned from them are extremely practical. The spiritual giants in the Bible faced the same struggles as we do. Small group Bible studies really enjoy studying the life of a person. The purpose is to find helpful lessons from their lives which we can apply to our lives today. Their history and background are examined along with key events in their life. Each study takes an in depth look at one person in the Bible and their life story. He will never be without witnesses, even if they be but a small remnant.One of our most popular Bible study series is on Bible characters. It may have a kind of gloomy appeal to think that we alone are left, but the Lord has His own scattered here and there even if we are not aware of them. Our attention is also drawn to the fact that while there was a day when Elijah was sure he was the only one left to bear witness, he was wrong. Far from being “conformed” to that world, Elijah confronted it with a power that came from God. Ahab and Jezebel formed a formidable partnership in evil and in hostility against all who refused to move in step with their idolatry. He lived in a culture and under a ruler with little sympathy for him or his God. The Lord’s care for his servant is recorded for our encouragement. This book takes us through the experiences of this man of God. We think back to the fearless man of Carmel and then see him as a man fleeing to the wilderness, running from Jezebel. Yet, as “a man subject to like passions as we are” (James 3:17), he appeals to our sense of our own weakness. Elijah challenges our faith and our often-shallow prayer life. Sandy Higgins has a track record of helpful studies on individuals and books of the Bible. No series on Bible Characters could possibly omit him. References to him in the New Testament serve to underline his distinction. Elijah is one of the towering figures of the Old Testament. In the study of Elijah, Sandy Higgins investigates Elijah and John Peterson gives us an in depth study on the character of Job. This is the fourth book in this series but the first that includes two character studies in one volume. The study of bible characters is one of the most accessible and appetizing ways of communicating spiritual truth: instead of heavy doctrine, it homes in on real men and women in daily life.
