Follow Elijah on his epic journey through the four elements. In part IV, discover how Elijah enters into the final stages of the spiritual life. Water was Elijah’s journey of purification. Fire was all about illumination. Wind is all about loving union with God. “The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear the sound of it, but cannot tell where it comes from and where it goes. So is everyone who is born of the Spirit.”
I sit struggling for words. Wind may have been the most overwhelming of the four books. Whether it is fiction or not, I do not know. But what I do know is that it is true. I will be processing this in my heart and soul for weeks, perhaps forever.
Buy the series. Read it, tell everyone you know to read it.
More questions rises about where I am from this beautiful life. Why joy seems that far while it is really at hand. And more importantly why God feels distant while He is actually closer than we can ever imagine.
This book provokes more thinking about one's life. With all the transfiguration happening in the story of Elijah, it makes it look accessible and at hand. The story is very real.
"Wind. When, like a kite, one opens their arms wide… and their life takes the shape of the cross… when they go to the lowest place of the valley… the very bottom… there… naked and unknown… in complete surrender… having relinquished any sort of attachment… then Wind comes and catches them… they are carried up by Him."
