Peter Leigh is a missionary called to go on the journey of a lifetime. Leaving behind his beloved wife, Bea, he boards a flight for a remote and unfamiliar land, a place where the locals are hungry for the teachings of the Bible. THE BOOK OF STRANGE NEW THINGS is a wildly original tale of adventure, faith and the ties that might hold two people together when they are worlds apart.
