“If the prosperity gospel had a heart, Karen has stomped that sucker flat . . . Whether you live in a mansion on a cliff, a shack by still waters, or in a single-wide on cinder blocks, this is a worthy read.” — Wm. Paul Young, author of The Shack
“I have been a ‘have’ and a ‘have not’ in my life. I have found in my walk with the Lord, as Karen illustrates so well in these beautiful stories, that the riches he desires for us have nothing to do with money. I love a writer that’s not afraid to walk with real people and speak the truth of their lives. Keep shining your light Karen!” — Jeff Foxworthy
“I loved it, Karen! Funny and seductive and deadly serious…the only way I know to take on the prosperity charlatans is to do a lateral around them to their weak backsides, and you have sure done it well!” —Phyllis Tickle, author & founding editor of the Religion Department of PUBLISHERS WEEKLY.
It says something about the kind of publisher Zondervan is — Tom Dean, marketing director, came in from Grand Rapids to attend the event at the Georgia Center for the Book. He came bearing flowers and that wonderful, gleeful smile.
Tom wasn’t the only one who made the trip. Lots of people joined with us.
We started the evening @ the Watershed. Food was so great that the Food Network was at the restaurant, taping.
I ordered the hot veggie plate and I’m telling you that sweet potato casserole was heavenly.
I don’t know if Mary Kay Andrews and Party Patti were having trouble reading the menu or what.
Personally, having Jack Riggs sing Janis Joplin and Roger Miller was my favorite part of my presentation.
Though I think Beth Vann’s interview about the work going on at Decatur Cooperative Ministries was really enlightening for many folks.
