Ever wonder how someone rises from humble beginnings to achieve financial success? In Ancient Secrets of Success, author Kerry Pharr shares his inspiring journey and practical insights for achieving lasting prosperity.
At 45, Zig Ziglar was deeply in debt and felt like a failure. Then, an elderly Black woman shared a life-changing message with him: give your life to Jesus Christ. Zig followed her advice, studied the Bible, and applied its principles to his life and work. Before long, he achieved extraordinary success, wealth, and the admiration of millions.
At 52, after losing his first wife, Diane, Kerry Pharr began attending Zig’s Sunday School class. Newly remarried and struggling financially after a $100,000 real estate loss, this money was from selling the home he and Diane had spent 30 years paying off. While searching for a fresh start, he found hope at a Dallas Home Show. Encouraged by his wife, he invested $2,500 in a concrete restoration training course. With no construction experience, no tools, and no truck, he began his business working out of the trunk of his old Cadillac Coup Deville, relying on rented tools from big-box stores.
Like Zig, Kerry built his business on Biblical principles. Despite humble beginnings, the company grew into a seven-figure annual business over 12 years. Today, Kerry retains a controlling interest in the company, managed by two incredible Christian business partners who provide him with a pension. This allows him to focus on In Your Corner Ministries.
The ministry has produced over 500 TV episodes aired on the Daystar TV Network, five faith-based documentaries, an addiction recovery program titled Addiction Knockout, and annual mission trips to the Dominican Republic. It also runs two weekly live-stream programs from its studio near Nashville, TN.

In Ancient Secrets of Success, Kerry reveals how to apply these same Biblical principles to achieve financial success.
