"Zacharias offers a potent rebuttal to the contemporary commentary that only the stupid can be religious and that intelligence beats faith every time." PASTE, Dec. 2008.
"Where's Your Jesus Now? is witty, full of compassion and righteous outrage." A.J. Jacobs, author of The Year of Living Biblically & The Know-It-All.
"witty, intelligent and a poignant analysis of organized religion today—pungent manna for thought."
Winston Groom, author of Forrest Gump
"If this writer Karen Spears Zacharias should turn evangelist, the stadium will be full every night." --
Sonny Brewer, author of The Poet of Tolstoy Park. “Karen Spears Zacharias is the evangelical Anne Lamott. Reading her gives you instant commonsense as well as an infallible eye for tommyrot, and she wraps her gifts in humor, sass, spunk, and biblical wisdom. She's golden.”-- Scot McKnight, author of The Jesus Creed, and Professor in Religious Studies, North Park University.
"Karen Zacharias is the rarest, most valuable kind of speaker and writer. Not only does she transport her audience to the real-life scenes she describes through vivid storytelling, but she also explains the technical details of creating nonfiction work in a clear way, so that fellow writers can follow those blueprints and begin to achieve better results as essayists, memoirists, journalists, and other chroniclers of events and lives. Thanks to Karen's guidance, her audience is able to convey what happened and what it all means". --George Weinstein, Program Chairman of the Atlanta Writers Club
