Karen Spears Zacharias

Will Jesus Buy me A Double-Wide is a compelling book that challenges the idea that God shows his love by giving wealth. Employing clever storytelling and prophetic commentary, Zacharias deconstructs the flawed equation that says God’s Favor + Our Obedience = Riches. With humor, wit and the quirky charm of modern parables, Zacharias shares the stories of faith won and faith lost. From an AIG Employee and the Car Mogul who lost everything to the Alabama debutante who inherited $40 million from her granny’s “Everlasting” rolls, Zacharias compiled a cast of unforgettable characters.


Using her journalistic background, Zacharias scoured the back-roads from Portland, Oregon to Pinehurst, N.C. asking people about two things – God and money. She interviewed the exceedingly wealthy and the extremely poor and a host of people in between. Zacharias wanted to find people ‘who had it right,’ and she found them in unlikely places. Will Jesus Buy Me a Double-Wide is filled with the stories of Americans from different economic backgrounds who struggle with the same foundational questions about their lives and their faith.
