About this story

Elijah''s work is done. He has stood against kings, prayed down fire, and taught Elisha — his student and successor — how to walk with God. Now a chariot of fire is coming, and Elisha has one last request: a double portion of his master''s spirit. The story is full of crossings, partings, and unexpected gifts. It is about what happens when a faithful leader steps off the stage, and the next generation has to decide whether to pick up the cloak. Kids who have ever had to be brave without their grown-up nearby will feel this one.
