Preacher on the Run: A Novel of Early America

by Jayna Baas

Overview

Standing for truth could cost him his freedom. Fighting for freedom could cost him his life.

It's 1771, and revolution is on the horizon. Frontier preacher Robert Boothe has spent the last four years leading resistance against North Carolina's corrupt British government.

All he wants is a place for his people to worship God without fear. He'll do whatever it takes to protect them--and his wife and young daughter. They've always known the danger, but he never meant to test their faith as much as his own.

But when Colonel Charles Drake arrives in their settlement, silencing Robert is his best chance to win the governor's favor. And Robert refuses to back down.

On one side stands the power of the Crown. On the other stands a man of daring conviction. When his family and flock are caught in the crossfire, how far will Robert go to keep them safe?

The historical drama of Johnny Tremain meets the courageous faith of Pilgrim's Progress in this engaging Christian historical novel. Read now and step into a nation on the verge of the American Revolution, where faith and freedom are both at stake.

About the Author

Jayna Baas (pronounced as in "baa, baa, black sheep") is the author of Preacher on the Run and director of The Christian PEN: Proofreaders and Editors Network. She writes and edits from beautiful northern Michigan, where she strives to give readers faith-filled adventures bursting with relatable characters and biblical truth. When she's not writing her own books or editing other people's books, Jayna seeks out new adventures on the screen, on the page, and in the kitchen. She also loves to spend time with her great family of real people and the family of pretend people who live in her head. (Yes, she does know her characters are not real. No, she does not want you to tell them she said so.) Although her love of words extends to multiple genres, Jayna's favorite story is this: "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life" (John 3:16).
