Summary of Rosaria Butterfield's The Secret Thoughts of an Unlikely Convert

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 I was 36 years old when I met Jesus Christ. I was an associate professor at Syracuse University, tenured in the English Department, and held a joint teaching appointment in the Center for Women’s Studies. I was in a lesbian relationship with a woman who was primarily an animal activist and a nature lover.

#2 I was a professor of English studies, and my field was 19th century literature and culture. I was a director of undergraduate studies, and I enjoyed advising and organizing our curriculum. I felt like an imposter, but I didn’t look like one.

#3 I missed being in the company of risky and complex thinkers, people who were invested in my culture and who challenged me to think to the edges of my comfort zones. I was an out lesbian in the same way that I am now a Christian wife.

#4 I was always afraid of Christians, because they seemed anti-intellectual and unsafe. I was also afraid of being wrong, because I knew that if I was, I would learn from it and grow.
