Overview
If you've read any of the author's previous books; "Between the Promise and Fulfillment-Why God delays in Fulfilling a Promise," "Samson-Born to Rule-Yet He never learned to Govern Himself," and "Building the House of God-Through a Collaborative Effort," you've probably gotten a good pulse of his heart, by now. In this book, Peter Cruz uses the story of Elijah to illustrate a common error, which we all make at one point or another in our Christian walk, after receiving a promise from God; how we allowed ourselves to become more hopeful that a prayer would be answered in a specific time or manner or that a situation would be completely fixed, only to find, that it didn't happen as we initially understood. As a result of the disappointment we experienced, we became so discouraged that we lost our passion for the work of the Lord, forfeited our personal responsibilities to loved ones, our employer, or even our desire for life itself. In 'Elijah - A man who was just like us', the author speaks to that unique characteristic of the Lord of, seemingly, communicating His promises in an obscure manner. He explains why the Lord often speaks this way, how to avoid becoming overly hopeful, and what to do after suffering a letdown. Peter trusts, that the reader will find practical lessons to avoid setting himself up for disappointment, and insights to help him look beyond his hopelessness, to a new revelation and recommissioning, which will, ultimately, enable him to finish what he was born to do.
