The lessons of this book are extracted from a close reading of the storyof Elisha and the widow, found in 2 Kings 4: 1-7. There are many lessons we can take from this passage; however, the central illustration that the story reveals is about God's ability to provide for us in spite of the challenges and difficulties that we encounter, and the limitations that we may have. God is able to supply our needs, often in miraculous ways, and as we analyze the scripture, we shall discover His process. Our foundational text reads: A certain woman of the wives of the sons of the prophets cried out to Elisha, saying, "Your servant my husband is dead, and you know that your servant feared the Lord. And the creditor is coming to take my two sons to be his slaves. 2 So Elisha said to her, "What shall I do for you? Tell me, what do you have in the house?" And she said, "Your maidservant has nothing in the house but a jar of oil." 3 Then he said, "Go, borrow vessels from everywhere, from all your neighbors-empty vessels; do not gather just a few. 4And when you have come in, you shall shut the door behind you and your sons; then pour it into all those vessels, and set aside the full ones." 5 So she went from him and shut the door and her sons, who brought the vessels to her; and she poured it out. 6Now it came to pass, when the vessels were full, that she said to her son, "Bring me another vessel." And he said to her, "There is not another vessel." So the oil ceased. 7Then she came and told the man of God. And he said, "Go, sell the oil and pay your debt; and you and your sons live on the rest ." 2 Kings 4: 1-7 If you are in a situation like the widow's, where you feel down and out, this book is intended to help you. If you are dealing with a problem that seems so complex, so overwhelming, and all-encompassing that you don't know where to turn, then this book is for you. Be encouraged by the widow's story; that in those moments when you feel powerless to change your situation, there is hope for transformation. It is in those moments when you feel broken, and your ego is bruised and humbled, that you are in a good position to receive the grace, mercy, and miracles that only God can deliver. If you can relate to the widow in this story, and feel like you have nothing but a small, and seemingly insignificant thing to offer, then you should rejoice, because if you choose to rely on God, and exercise faith and obedience to His word, you may very well be on your way towards seeing the power and favor of God in your life.A Complex Set Of Problems Have you ever noticed that in life problems often come in groups? They don't usually appear at your door one at a time; they invite their cousins and friends along with them. While you are trying to get a grip on one situation, another one springs up, followed by yet another, lending credence to the adage that "when it rains, it pours". Dealing with a cluster of problems is not always easy. Many times the situation gets very complicated and overwhelming. This was the situation the widow was in.Here was a woman who was confronted simultaneously by various challenges in her life. First of all, she lost her husband. Unfortunately, while she was mourning and expecting people to have sympathy for her, the problem became compounded by other factors. In addition to being widowed, we learn that she was in debt. Her children were about to be taken away from her; she was suffering shame in her community; and she was frustrated with God. She was going through a crisis of huge proportions. So she went to the prophet Elisha, who used to be her now-deceased husband's boss, and presented her dilemma to him, seeking a way out. I believe that we can all identify with this woman, because we all face complex and complicated problems at various points in our lives. We can break down the widow's problems into five different issues:

In this engaging book, Dr. Solly examines the history of crude oil tankers from early days when this vital commodity was carried aboard ordinary sailing vessels, through the innovative designs that resulted in significant breakthroughs leading to early single-hulled VLCCs, and the later stronger hence safer double-hulled vessel. The professional reader will identify with much of the author’s thinking, especially his handling of the enormous advances in shipboard techniques, and examination of excellent contributions made by the International Maritime Organisation (IMO) from its conception in 1948, to its penetratingly effective work of today. Special attention is paid to their profound influence on the industry through MARPOL and SOLAS innovations, including arguably the greatest contribution made to tanker safety and environmental protection by Inert Gas Systems (IGS) and Crude Oil Washing (COW). Non-seagoing readers in allied shipping professions, and that huge army of ship enthusiasts, will learn a great deal about the ins-and-outs of an industry which, for the immediate future, underpins virtually every aspect of practical 21st Century living. Ray Solly’s authoritative story is lavishly supported by 211 images (many of which have never previously been published), plus accounts of two recent voyages aboard a Norwegian North sea shuttle tanker, and a product carrier. Both passenger trips not only updated his professional knowledge but provided penetrating insight into current maritime practices. Each confirmed his convincing observation that today’s crude oil carriers present the safest and most regulated form of transportation in the world.

The safety record of lightering (the transfer of petroleum cargo at sea from a large tanker to smaller ones) has been excellent in U.S. waters in recent years, as evidenced by the very low rate of spillage of oil both in absolute terms and compared with all other tanker-related accidental spills. The lightering safety record is likely to be maintained or even improved in the future as overall quality improvements in the shipping industry are implemented. Risks can be reduced even further through measures that enhance sound lightering standards and practices, support cooperative industry efforts to maintain safety, and increase the availability of essential information to shipping companies and mariners. Only continued vigilance and attention to safety initiatives can avert serious accidents involving tankers carrying large volumes of oil.

What is faith, and how do we receive it and grow in it? We live in a society that is virtually devoid of faith. Since most people don't read the Bible, they don't know much about God or believe He even exists. What about you - do you lack the faith to believe in God? Having true faith will help you make sense out the troubling and confusing world you live in. It will give you the confidence you need to move forward with your life despite trials and setbacks. How do you get faith? Growing in faith requires believing in God and maintaining a close relationship with Him. You can have this relationship with God through daily prayer, Bible study and applying what God says in the Scriptures in your personal life. Learn more about how to grow in Christian faith by reading this Bible study aid ebook, You Can Have Living Faith, and start building that close relationship with God today! Chapters in this ebook: -- Introduction: You Can Have Living Faith -- What Is Faith? -- The Meaning of Faith -- The Book of James: An 'Epistle of Straw'? -- Examples of Living Faith -- When It Seems God Doesn't Hear or Answer -- Enemies of Faith -- Growing in Faith Inside this Bible Study Aid ebook: "Lack of faith—an active, living trust in and relationship with God—is a widespread problem affecting every nation and virtually every individual." "If we want to better our lives, our model for living faith should be Jesus Christ." "Many people don't have the faith described in the Bible because they do not believe or practice what Jesus said: "If you love Me, keep My commandments" (John 14:15)." "The Bible tells us salvation is by God's grace and is not earned by good works "lest any man should boast" (Ephesians 2:8-9). But we are saved by grace through faith. The danger we face is that our faith will die if we neglect our salvation by not living a life of obedience to God (Hebrews 2:1-3)." "The examples and testimonies of the men and women we read about in Hebrews 11 show us we can believe God." "We should pray to God for faith, and we should pray often for it (Luke 18:1)." "Living a life of prayer, Bible study and humble obedience to God clarifies and strengthens our faith."
