The story of the prophet Elijah's transformation from fierce zealot to compassionate hero and cherished figure in Jewish tradition "In a series on Jewish Lives, this volume is about the Jewish life--the one that goes on forever. Becoming Elijah blends meticulous scholarship with bold literary and poetic imagination. Don't miss it!"--Arthur Green, author of Judaism for the World "The author's erudite prose and masterful command of history and faith traditions bring his subject to vibrant life. This is an edifying and accessible chronicle of a towering religious figure."--Publishers Weekly (starred review) In the Bible Elijah is a zealous prophet, attacking idolatry and injustice, championing God. He performs miracles, restoring life and calling down fire. When his earthly life ends, he vanishes in a whirlwind, carried off to heaven in a fiery chariot. Was this a spectacular death, or did Elijah escape death entirely? The latter view prevailed. Though residing in heaven, Elijah revisits earth--to help, rescue, enlighten, and eventually herald the Messiah. Because of his messianic role, Jews open the door for Elijah during each seder--the meal commemorating liberation from slavery and anticipating final redemption. How did this zealot turn into a compassionate hero--apparently the most popular figure in Jewish tradition? Becoming Elijah explores this question, tracing how Elijah develops from the Bible to Rabbinic Judaism, Kabbalah, and Jewish ritual (as well as Christianity and Islam). His transformation is pertinent and inspirational for our polarized, fanatical world.

Twenty years ago, Patricia Grant was called to the prophetic ministry and instructed by the Lord to become familiar with the lives and functions of the prophets in the Bible. Now after being called once again to teach others about the five people in the Bible who were named for specific missions and trained by the Lord, Grant brings to light the story of Elijah, one of the five, and compares his trials with her own. Grant relies on her personal spiritual experiences to share how, through Gods wisdom, she discovered commonalities with ancient people who also faced hardships on the way to becoming prophets of nations. While highlighting Elijahs challenges and revealing her own struggles throughout childhood and her lifetime, Grant not only demonstrates how faith and Gods love have the power to bring one through darkness and into a healing light, but also provides spiritual guidance for anyone seeking to overcome hardships and accomplish great things for the Lord. The Call: Elijah the Great Prophet shares a true story of Gods love and power as a woman is called to study ancient people and discovers they have more in common than she ever realized.
