You never know where or how Elijah will appear. He may be a weathered traveler asking for shelter, a shivering peddler begging for food. He arrives in the cornfields of Argentina, on doorsteps in China, amid ancient Persian ruins. He is a friend, a teacher, an angel. Elijah brings hope to those in need, and his words can work miracles.

In this illuminating collection of eight tales, Barbara Diamond Goldin introduces readers to this ancient prophet who has touched the lives of people from religious traditions all over the world. Dazzling paintings by renowned artist Jerry Pinkney deftly lead us to the heart of Elijah's journeys, to a place where goodness and truth prevail.
