Quality Christian Fiction
Welcome to Books by Jayna!
Here you can find quality fiction with a biblical focus. Every book is written with the following in mind: Good writing honors God, the Creator of language and the Author of the most amazing Book ever written. Preachiness is not what makes a tale worth telling. Christians are people, too, and life as a believer in Jesus is so much more than a moral to a story. Christian books should not be defined only by what is not in them, but also by what is. Jesus Christ is the only way to heaven, and that’s worth writing about.
"Of making many books there is no end . . ." ~ Ecclesiastes 12:12

Praise for Preacher on the Run
"Intense, delightful, raw, and emotional, Preacher on the Run is definitely on my TRA (to read again) list." ~ Madi, blogger @ Madi’s Musings
"The writing style – let me just say I was less than a page in and I recognized it as something spectacular. It’s not often that a writer gets it just right where you can actually hear the drawl in a character’s voice just by reading what they say, but Jayna got it spot-on perfect. I highly recommend this to anyone who likes historical fiction with a lot of action!" ~ Natalie, blogger @ Kenmore Pines 1
"I couldn't stop reading it! It was really well written . . . and I immensely enjoyed the plot of the story." ~ K. E., Wisconsin
"It’s chock full of daring maneuvers, brave souls, tender family moments, and conviction. . . . I can honestly say that Preacher on the Run is one book you won’t regret reading." ~ Callie, blogger @ An Unfinished Story
"My daughter has been reading it and she's already asking for the next book! It's a hit." ~ C. G., Arizona
"Baas' ability to weave a lot of historical fact in amongst her fictitious plot line was really interesting and masterful. . . . If you're a fan of historical/Revolutionary (or pre-Revolutionary) fiction, you'll definitely find it worthwhile to pick this book up." ~ Michaela, author & blogger @ Tangled Up In Writing
"The author does a tremendous job of bringing Baptist History to life. There is a great lesson in it. Please hurry with the next book!" ~ M.H., Maryland
"This book has earned its place in my 'books to study' category to become a better writer. . . . It's an excellent read and a must for all homeschoolers, North Carolinians, Revolution-Buffs and Baptists! Buy this book!" ~ Ryana Lynn, author & blogger @ Life of Heritage and a North Carolina Regulator descendant
