John Thomas Mawson (1871-1943) was an outstanding evangelist, teacher and author. He edited and contributed to “Scripture Truth” magazine from its inception in 1909 until 1943 (initially sharing the editorship with HDRJameson, until the latter’s death in 1912). The content of some of his books was originally delivered in series of talks to Christians, young and old, and his writings have a pleasant conversational style about them which makes them easy to follow. His comment on the story of Elisha as “enlightening to the mind and delightful to the heart” describes well his own written ministry.
This book considers the life of Elisha, a remarkable prophet: never baffled; master of every situation and equal to every demand. All sorts of people came to him and he shared the grace of God with each of them. The author uses scenes from Elisha’s experience to meditate on the later and perfect life of Jesus Christ, as he develops his theme of “the secret of spiritual victory, peace and joy”.
