The life of a prophet was rarely much fun. Sometimes, it could even get you killed. Carmel, the eternal green mountain, is drying up, and God won't send rain until Elijah convinces the Jews to turn back to Him and destroy the false idol, Baal. But they believe Baal is the only one who can send them rain. How will Elijah restore their ancient faith and save the people of northern Israel? Drawing on Biblical narrative, Elijah and the Priests of Baal shares memorable scenes from the life of this important prophet, bringing them to life with rich, full-color illustrations. The depth, the warmth, and the humanity of the story all shine through in the character of the prophet Elijah.

No Santa? How could Miles' parents do this to him? Miles has been through lots of changes over the last year. He was okay (sort of) with switching to a Jewish school and learning to keep Shabbat, and no more Friday-night sleepovers. He could even handle missing out on his grandmother's home-baked cookies. But no more Santa? That just may be the straw that breaks the camel's back - unless Miles takes things into his own hands. Whether you're Jewish or not, you probably know that holidays are all about family. This story will change the way you look at the winter holiday season.
