      And he said, Verily I say unto you, No prophet is accepted in his own country.

      But I tell you of a truth, many widows were in Israel in the days of Elias, when the heaven was shut up three years and six months, when great famine was throughout all the land;

      But unto none of them was Elias sent, save unto Zarephath, a city of Sidon, unto a woman that was a widow.

      Luke 4:24–26

NOTE FROM THE AUTHOR

PROLOGUE

PART I

I HAVE SERVED A LORD

HE WALKED FOR MANY HOURS

ELIJAH AWOKE THE NEXT DAY

ELIJAH JOURNEYED FOR DAYS

ELIJAH’S PRESENCE WAS SOON

LITTLE BY LITTLE ELIJAH BECAME

AT THE ENTRANCE TO THE VALLEY

IN THE DISTANCE

SHOUTING INSULTS AND HURLING STONES

AFTER MUCH TIME HAD PASSED

       PART II

       THE HIGH PRIEST SAID

       AKBAR WOULD GO ON EXISTING

       THE HIGH PRIEST REMAINED

       THE NEXT DAY

       ELIJAH STILL LIVES

       TWO MORE MONTHS PASSED

       THE PRISONER

       THE LORD SPOKE UNTO MOSES

       ELIJAH CONTINUED WALKING

       HE WAS AWAKENED

       LET’S GO

       ELIJAH, THE WOMAN, AND THE BOY

       I’M HUNGRY AND THIRSTY

       THE NEXT DAY THEY AWOKE

       THE BOY AND THE MAN

       HE LOOKED AT THE BOY

       BEHOLD, OH LORD

       THE NEXT DAY

       ANOTHER DAY WENT BY

       ELIJAH AWOKE WITH A START

       THE WOMAN WHO HAD ASKED

       TWO NIGHTS LATER

       THE DAYS BECAME WEEKS

       ELIJAH AWOKE SAYING

       CARAVANS NO LONGER CAME

       THE CHIEF TRADER SAW

       AND IT CAME TO PASS

       FROM THE STONE WHERE HE SAT

       ELIJAH AND THE BOY

       FIVE YEARS LATER

       ELIJAH RETURNED TO

       MARIA CONCEIVED WITHOUT SIN
