THE MAN WHO DID NOT DIE
In this richly illustrated retelling, listeners are carried back to the days after Solomon’s death, when his son Rehoboam’s harsh tax policies sparked rebellion and the kingdom fractured into Israel and Judah. The narrative sketches the rise and fall of a succession of kings—Asa, Jehoshaphat, Hezekiah, Josiah—highlighting their battles against idolatry, foreign threats, and internal strife. By weaving together political intrigue, prophetic counsel, and moments of divine intervention, the story sets a vivid stage for the prophet who will soon emerge.
The second part introduces Elijah, the bold prophet who confronts a nation steeped in idol worship. His daring confrontations, miraculous signs, and unwavering faith illustrate the tension between earthly power and divine purpose. Listeners will experience the early chapters of Elijah’s mission, feeling the weight of his courage as he challenges kings and champions a faith that refuses to be silenced.
