I think there's a MAMMOTH market for conservative-oriented fiction in general, and Christian/mainstream crossover in particular. As you noted, the LB series is so very poorly written, yet it did what it did because of a starved market. The demand is not just in books, either. PASSION proved how staggering the market is for the same thing in film: QUALITY productions of biblical material. There are so many fabulous Bible stories that would translate so beautifully to big-budget film.
BTW, I had a very unexpected development in my own career a couple weeks ago. A very successful agent at a large agency stumbled across a link to a sample chapter of mine, read it, excitedly asked for more, fell in love with my writing, and offered representation, all within about six hours, and very much unexpected and out of the blue.

Agents are just like the Army. When they're ready to move they move. You're story is a perfect example of that.
Congrats my friend! This is outstanding!
No one is more deserving. Best of luck and let us all know as things come out in print!
Good luck and all the success in the world!
