Battleground: Elijah and the War With Jezebel
From the pages of history they emerge into life: Elijah, the bold and powerful prophet of Yahweh and Jezebel, the vicious and evil Queen of Israel. On Mount Carmel the battle is waged and only one can emerge as the victor.
It is a dark time in the land of Israel. The weak King Ahab, so fearless in battle but reduced to a slave by his sly and manipulative Queen Jezebel, has eradicated the very identity of the people. The word has gone out: worship Baal or die. A ruthless war is waged on God's prophets, and only Elijah is left to fight on. But in a day when it is dangerous to cry out in protest, does he dare to raise his voice?
From L. M. Roth, author of the Quest For the Kingdom series, Abelard and the Dragon's Vapor, and Disenchanted In the Land of Dreams Come True, comes an exciting tale of danger and drama in this vivid retelling of the ancient story of enemies locked in combat...to the death.

Great read!
I enjoyed reading about Elijah in this book. It made me reflect upon Elijah in the Bible. I definitely recommend this book.

I enjoyed this for the most part.
A few interpretations were somewhat unique but that was okay.
The only obvious time they went against what the Scripture says is they had Elijah meet Ahab in the palace to confront him over Naboth when the Bible clearly states, "Arise, go down to meet Ahab king of Israel, which is in Samaria: behold, he is in the vineyard of Naboth, whither he is gone down to possess it." 1 Kings 21:18. I assume that to be a mere careless error as the author seems to hold to a high view of Scripture.
I did not enjoy the book enough to purchase any of the author's other works but I would consider reading more freebies.
