Vance Havner grew up in the hills of North Carolina in the early twentieth century. Licensed to preach at the age of twelve and ordained at fifteen, this "backwoods" Baptist preacher spent but life calling people to true repentance. Boldly proclaiming the Word of God for seventy-three years, Havner came to be loved and known for hit exacting style and ingenious wordplay. In the passage below, he draws pointed parallels between the people of God during Elijah's times — the Mt. Carmel confrontation (1 Kings 18:30-39 ) — and the Church of his times. As Havner observer, fire from heaven falls on faithful prophets not on slick public-relations professionals.
