Synopsis
"The reason you love Jamie (or are about to) is because she says exactly what the rest of us are thinking, but we're too afraid to upset the apple cart. She is a voice for the outlier, and we're famished for what she has to say." --Jen Hatmaker, New York Times bestselling author of Of Mess and Moxie and For the Love Wildly popular blogger "Jamie the Very Worst Missionary" delivers a searing, offbeat, often hilarious memoir of spiritual disintegration and re-formation. As a quirky Jewish kid and promiscuous punkass teen, Jamie Wright never imagines becoming a Christian, let alone a Christian missionary. She is barely an adult when the trials of motherhood and marriage put her on an unexpected collision course with Jesus. After finding her faith at a suburban megachurch, Jamie trades in the easy life on the cul-de-sac for the green fields of Costa Rica. There, along with her family, she earnestly hopes to serve God and change lives. But faced with a yawning culture gap and persistent shortcomings in herself and her fellow workers, she soon loses confidence in the missionary enterprise and falls into a funk of cynicism and despair. Nearly paralyzed by depression, yet still wanting to make a difference, she decides to tell the whole, disenchanted truth- Missionaries suck and our work makes no sense at all! From her sofa in Central America, she launches a renegade blog, Jamie the Very Worst Missionary , and against all odds wins a large and passionate following. Which leads her to see that maybe a "bad" missionary--awkward, doubtful, and vocal-is exactly what the world and the throngs of American do-gooders need. The Very Worst Missionary is a disarming, ultimately inspiring spiritual memoir for well-intentioned contrarians everywhere. It will appeal to readers of Nadia Bolz-Weber, Jen Hatmaker, Ann Lamott, Jana Reiss, Mallory Ortberg, and Rachel Held Evans., "The reason you love Jamie (or are about to) is because she says exactly what the rest of us are thinking, but we're too afraid to upset the apple cart.

Yet she is barely an adult when the trials of motherhood and marriage push her through the doors of a suburban megachurch and onto a collision course with Jesus. Before long, Jamie sets off with her family for the green fields of Costa Rica, where they plan to serve God and change lives. But faced with a yawning culture gap and persistent shortcomings in herself and others, she soon loses confidence in the entire missionary enterprise. In the clutches of a dark funk, she decides to take a huge risk. She will tell the whole truth, starting with herself. She launches a renegade blog, Jamie the Very Worst Missionary, to chronicle the everyday dumbness, hilarious ineptitudes, and downright disasters of a wannabe world-changer who would rather just stay in bed. In a surprising twist, Jamie's blog wins a large and passionate following, suggesting that maybe a "bad" missionary-awkward, doubtful, and bare-butt honest-is exactly what the world and the throngs of American do-gooders need. Funny, outrageous, and pitch-perfect, The Very Worst Missionary is a memoir for the frustrated idealist in all of us. Book jacket.
