Jayna Baas, pronounced as in “baa, baa, black sheep,” is the author of Preacher on the Run and a member of American Christian Fiction Writers and The Christian PEN: Proofreaders and Editors Network.

That's not to say I've finished all the books I've worked on simultaneously! Right now I'm trying to focus on one book at a time, but that hasn't kept me from writing short stories and brainstorming about the next book in my trilogy. After all, I do have to plan ahead, don't I? ;)(less)

Davis Bunn has long been one of my favorite authors in the Christian suspense genre. This book is definitely more of the general-market contemporary flavor; it has some suspense, but of a mild variety, and the level of Christian content is inspiratio ...more

I love stories of little-known historical figures, and this book fit that description perfectly. Based on a true story, it reads like a true story as well—covering decades of time, it’s not a fast read or filled with nonstop action, but it gives a de ...more

Quotes by Jayna Baas  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“All you want is power. Power and control. And we want freedom. On every front. It’s every man’s birthright, the freedom to make his own
choices before God. Freedom for you to accept God or reject Him. His truth, His forgiveness, His righteousness. Your choice, because He created you free. Just like every other person ever born.”
Jayna Baas, Preacher on the Run

“The truth will hold its own.”
Jayna Baas, Preacher on the Run

“The truth will hold its own.”
Jayna Baas, Preacher on the Run

“The first business of a story is to be a good story. When Our Lord made a wheel in the carpenter shop, depend upon it: It was first and foremost a good wheel.

Don’t try to ‘bring in’ specifically Christian bits: if God wants you to serve him in that way (He may not: there are different vocations) you will find it coming in of its own accord.

Any honest workmanship (whether making stories, shoes, or rabbit hutches) can be done to the glory of God.”
C.S. Lewis

“When I have a little money, I buy books; and if I have any left, I buy food and clothes.”
Desiderius Erasmus Roterodamus

“I believe in Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen: not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else.”
