  After finding Jesus at a suburban megachurch, young Jamie Wright trades in the easy life on the cul-de-sac for the green fields of Costa Rica. There, along with her husband, kids, and the family cat, she intends to serve God and make converts. But she soon loses faith and falls into a funk of cynicism and despair. Fortunately, Knives the cat is there, looking on with just enough disinterest to make her laugh...and dare her to try another way. That other way turns out to be telling the truth. She launches a renegade blog, Jamie the Very Worst Missionary, which against all odds soon wins a large and passionate following around the world. Slowly, she begins to see that being a bad missionary-awkward, doubtful, skeptical-can mean that you're just the kind of person someone else might be willing to hear...and that loving others is just as much about changing yourself as it is about converting them.

  Romayne Kazmer is a world traveler. She attributes her love of travel and curiosity of the world to her year abroad in 1959/60 studying at the University of Fribourg in Switzerland and summer school at the University of Oslo in Norway. She traveled extensively throughout Europe and the Middle East at that time. After returning home to her small town, Glen Ellyn, Illinois, she completed her studies at the University of Colorado. She then moved to New York City with all her life’s belongings. At 23, she was still fascinated by the world she had experienced and wanted to see it all. Taking a leave of absence from her job and with her life’s savings, Romayne traveled around the world alone. It is remarkable that this small town girl shares her insights and memories from the year that changed her life.
