"You just have to love the title. Zacharias takes on Christian prosperity theology, skewering televangelists, A.I.G., and the misuse of power and green in general. If you can overlookt he down-hominess and preaching, this is a quick, fun read."

Will Jesus Buy Me a Double-Wide? Listener Reviews
-
" Good read, though very lacking in Scriptural support. There's some there, sure, but not much, it seems. Very journalistic style (and large print) might almost insult some readers at its easy reading, but otherwise carries an important message and sharp delivery. "
— Patrick, 1/19/2014 -
" This was a book that made me think twice about complaining about my life. it's a good read! "
— Chris, 1/18/2014 -
" If the whole sham of the "name it and claim it" group turns you off then read this book. Exposes false hypocritical preachers like Joyce Meyers etc... A great read "
— Judy, 12/22/2013 -
" In her recently published book, Karen Zacharias has done an excellent job, boldly taking on the evangelists who spread the 'prosperity' message of Jesus over the air-waves. Bravo Karen. "

" Thought provoking! Short interesting stories about tele-evangelist want to get rich through Jesus stories. Very well written. I liked this book even though it was a non-fiction. "

" Thought provoking look at the American approach to religion. "

" It was a nice little read, but a lot of redundancy. Strikes me more as something that would have made a good weekly newspaper editorial. You could read the first couple chapters and the last couple and get the gist. I also think she's maybe a bit unfair to Olsteen. "
