Why this book deserves
Content Backing™ now?
In a time of sharp religious polarization and increasing spiritual skepticism, I Married a Missionary invites both Christians and non-Christians into an honest, witty, and compassionate exploration of faith. It doesn’t preach; it observes, it wrestles, it respects.This book could never come from a traditional Christian publisher: it will be too blunt, too unpredictable, and perhaps too unorthodox in both tone and content. And yet, that’s precisely why it may resonate with readers who are weary of religious cliché or curious about authentic spiritual experience from the outside in.
Why it’s worthy of a
CryptoNumbered™ edition?
• A Christian/Secular crossover that doesn’t try to please either camp but might challenge both.
• Written by someone not raised in the church but now intimately connected to it by love, family, and daily life.
• Offers unfiltered reflections on worship music, denominations, sensuality, missionaries, justice, and forgiveness.
• The tone balances irreverent curiosity with deep respect. It’s not about “getting saved,” it’s about seeing faith from the inside as a stranger.
• The author’s partner is a missionary who lived in Papua New Guinea and Thailand but the story stays grounded in everyday American culture.
What might this book look like inside?
This book blends personal narrative, cultural observation, theological musings, and episodes both funny and intimate.
Topics include:
• What does it mean to be “unequally yoked”?
• Why worship music can be more powerful than sermons.
• The quiet strength of Christian women.
• The unexpected sensuality of Christianity.
• What secular culture gets wrong (and sometimes right) about faith.
• Making out in front of tattooed baristas and what it reveals about grace.
Readers will experience:
• Raw honesty without bitterness.
• Real-life dialogue about church, scripture, and love.
• A respectful but unsanctioned take on faith that might appeal to the curious, the skeptical, and the devout.
Who will write it?
Lee, the author of this proposal, writes from lived experience. A father, a secular man by upbringing, and a storyteller by nature, he brings a fresh outsider’s voice to faith writing. His wife, Ann, is a seasoned missionary whose quiet devotion shapes every page of this story even when she disagrees with the author's conclusions.
