title: Eli's Journey
author: Baker, Tina Hawkey
description: Alone and with his life turned upside down, Elijah takes a journey into self-discovery. Having lived his whole life in the shadows of his parents in missions on many continents, Elijah feels betrayed when his parents are imprisoned for smuggling Bibles into a Muslim country. Unable to leave the country or help his parents for the threat of being imprisoned himself, Elijah searches for his own purpose in God's plan for his life. Elijah battles anger and abandonment to the point of self-destruction, until a supernatural event reminds him that God is still with him. Can God take which was meant to destroy Elijah and his family and turn it around for His glory? Will what started as Love's Mission forty years ago be completed without the loss of more lives? When God calls Elijah into the mission field around him, will Elijah go as willingly as his parents? "Young Eli, it's bigger than you," Sensei Kevin told Elijah when he realized what God was calling him to do. "But it is not bigger than God's plan."
