Nothing But a Jar of Oil

Bankruptcy, foreclosures, and skyrocketing credit card debt are just a few of the financial crises continuing to plague this millennium, some of it brought on by the coronavirus pandemic and the economic uncertainty it caused. Unfortunately, believers have not shown any immunity from such ills, even though the Bible provides a clear model and instructions for financial victory. In this updated edition of Nothing but a Jar of Oil, author Patrice Tsague helps readers chart a course to prosperity using timeless lessons from a tale of entrepreneurial success dating back thousands of years.Patrice outlines seven steps found in the ancient biblical story of the prophet Elisha and an impoverished widow and expounds on them to create entrepreneurial energy to fuel financial success. Throughout the book, the author uses the stories of 12 individuals who have taken Tsague's popular Biblical Entrepreneurship classes to highlight the struggles and challenges of starting businesses from scratch in all kinds of economic climates, as well as the positive effects their success has had on their lives and families. The book also includes a workbook for individuals to begin charting their own entrepreneurship journey toward financial success.This book is not a get-rich-quick scheme or a selection of "declarations" to manipulate God. Instead, it offers guidelines for anyone ready to take the first step toward financial success and freedom. These principles transcend time, culture, and race and illustrate how to live a life of abundance in every way, no matter an individual's income level, and to expand the Kingdom of God.
