From the Back Cover

Seasoned with Salt

Elisha was the "miracle prophet." Except for Jesus, more miracles are attributed to him than to anyone else in Scripture. Was this so Elisha could serve as God's example of a great man? Was it to prove that Israel's God was greater than the pagan gods and goddesses of Canaan? Or did each of Elisha's miracles represent a breakthrough, a moment in time, when God reached out of the unseen realm of eternity and into time? Yes. Yes. And yes. But that's not all.

Doing God's work requires faith--the ability to see the dimension of life that lies beyond our sight. Elisha saw this. We can, too.

To aid us, David Roper uses Elisha's miracles as "little pictures of God"--as windows to another dimension to help us see God as He really is. These "pictures" also remind us that God's help is always available to those who ask, and that God's most effective servants bring the needy to God so that He can minister to them.

Spiritual awareness is seeing everything through God's eyes, hearing with His ears, responding to others with His love. David Roper challenges us to study God's Word and to "grow eyes". Then he uses the grid of Elisha's life to show us how.
