Welcome to Books by Jayna!
Here you can find quality Christian fiction with a biblical focus. I'm author Jayna Baas, and I write each of my books 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. Life as a believer in Jesus is so much more than a moral to a story. Christian fiction should not be defined only by what is not in it, 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
Preacher on the Run
For Liberty & Conscience #1 - A Novel of the Regulator Uprising
Christian Fiction: Historical
It's 1771, and Robert Boothe has spent the last four years leading the tyrant-hating Regulators in standing against North Carolina’s corrupt British government. All he wants is a safe place for his family and church to live and worship in freedom. But the established church wants him to shut up. The governor’s men want him dead. Colonel Charles Drake is on Robert’s trail, and that safe place is farther and farther away. You can run, but you can’t hide . . .
"Intense, delightful, raw, and emotional, Preacher on the Run is definitely on my TRA (to read again) list." ~ Madi @ Madi’s Musings
"Baas masterfully blends history with fictional drama in this thrilling page turner that will keep you on the edge of your seat! A story of faith and the fight for religious freedom, Preacher on the Run is a novel for children and adults alike, and will leave you hungry for more." ~ M. E., Michigan
"If you're a fan of historical/Revolutionary (or pre-Revolutionary) fiction, you'll definitely find it worthwhile to pick this book up." ~ Michaela @ Tangled Up In Writing
"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 @ Life of Heritage, North Carolina Regulator descendant

"I picked up this book because I greatly enjoyed Jayna's book Preacher on the Run, and because my brothers like baseball and I knew they'd enjoy reading it.
