By Roy Hoffman
RNS-GOSPEL-MONEY
(RNS) Karen Spears Zacharias knows a thing or two about prayer and money. She's had a lot of one, very little of the other. She sees her newest book, "Will Jesus Buy Me a Double-Wide?" as a "corrective" to what's known as the Prosperity Gospel. Or, as she writes, treating "God like a slot machine." By Roy Hoffman. About 750. With photo.
