Richer Poorer Sickness Health By Jay Knight
Richer Poorer Sickness Health is not a business book. It's a survival story — and a love letter to faith, marriage, and the people who refuse to let you quit.
The book for anyone who has faced adversity that feels impossible to survive — written by a man who nearly lost everything, and came through it because of God, his wife Michelle, and a community that refused to stop praying.
A story of faith, marriage,
and the tenacity to survive.
A Book About Faith, Marriage, and Surviving What You Never Saw Coming
In Richer Poorer Sickness Health, Jay tells the story most people never share — a financial crisis that cost them their home, and then a life-threatening illness during COVID that nearly took Jay's life. Through it all, one thing held: their faith, their marriage, and a community of people who prayed when Jay couldn't pray for himself.
The story of a man who survived and thrived because of God and the tenacity of his wife.
This is not a self-help book. It is a survival story — honest about how hard things got and clear about what carried them through. It is a testament to what an ordinary couple can endure when they are rooted in something bigger than circumstance, and when a tenacious, committed wife refuses to let you give up.
If you or someone you love is facing a health crisis, a financial collapse, or a season that feels impossible to survive, this book was written for you.
Richer Poorer Sickness Health is available now on Amazon.

About Jay and Michelle Knight
Jay Knight nearly lost his business. He almost lost his life. Faith and a wife who wouldn't let go, got him through both.
Jay Knight spent nearly five decades building homes for American families. But it was the season when everything fell apart — a failed business, a lost home, and a brush with death during COVID — that shaped who he is today. He survived because of his faith, the prayers of a community that gathered around him, and the tenacity of his wife Michelle, who refused to let him go.
Jay and Michelle live in Palmetto, GA. They are active in their faith community and speak on the topics of faith, marriage, and perseverance.
