About this book
Elijah steps before King Ahab with a warning of drought in this illustrated Bible retelling for young readers. James Hartwell Willard first explains the division of Israel and Judah, tracing how rulers, heavy taxes and religious conflict shape the world in which the prophet appears. The account then follows Elijah to the brook Cherith, where ravens bring him food, and onward to a widow facing famine at Zarephath.
Faith is presented through concrete scenes of hunger, shelter and courage before royal power. Obadiah protects people threatened for their worship, while Elijah calls for a public test on Mount Carmel between the followers of God and Baal. Short narrative episodes and direct speech give the religious teaching a storybook form. Readers seeking an introduction to Elijah's biblical setting will find political background alongside the prophet's encounters with people struggling through a drought.
