Hope-Inspired Stories 

For those who enjoy stories that uplift and encourage... 

We welcome author Jayna Baas with her latest exciting release:

Patriot at the River...A Christian Historical Novel of the American Revolution (For Liberty and Conscience Book 2)

The fight he got wasn’t the fight he wanted...

It’s 1780, and North Carolina is a battleground. Backcountry scout Benjamin Woodbridge is guarding a Patriot camp when he sees the king’s men pursuing a civilian. Never one to stand by while someone is in trouble, Benjamin steps in to help the stranger and finds an unexpected ally.

But the same British officer who targeted the stranger also targets Benjamin’s settlement. After Benjamin is wounded on a lonely mountain trail, he watches sunrise fall to the man who crushed his father’s cause nine years earlier. Benjamin’s fight has come home to the very people he wanted to protect—his shy younger sister and the woman who has given them both a home.

Now, with the help of some unlikely comrades and the indomitable Aunt Kate, Benjamin must fight for what he loves before his settlement goes up in flames. But only if he can fight himself first.

Perfect for fans of Christian historical fiction and tales of bravery and redemption, Patriot at the River combines engaging characters, unfamiliar history, and biblical truth. Read now and step into an adventure of faith and freedom.

Heart of Joy


  • Publisher : ‎ Prayerful Productivity (August 13, 2024)

A Perilous Calling. . .

Declaring she’ll never marry, Emily Spenser leaves behind a comfortable life and a heartbroken fiancé to follow God’s call to the Wild West with her preacher father. They settle in Bodie, California, known for its lawlessness, but their mission plunges them into peril. Even greater danger awaits when Emily risks her safety and reputation to rescue outcast children.

Haunted by his inability to save his wife from a vigilante posse, Nathaniel Lockwood, a young widowed father, makes it his mission to protect the naïve preacher’s daughter from the town’s threats. Emily’s refusal to heed his warnings sets off sparks between them and jeopardizes her life as well as Nathaniel’s family. Will she survive a kidnapping, outlaws, and challenges to her faith?

Through it all, Emily learns that God’s plan for her life can bring unexpected joy even in the most troubling circumstances. But can Nathaniel, who is angry at God, find the same peace? Or is he destined to live his life heartbroken and alone?

With life-or-death stakes, pursuit by outlaws, and friction between a strong-willed captor and his captive, this inspirational romance explores themes of faith, grief, second chances, and the power of unconditional love. Filled with Wild West grit, seeds of hope and joy always remain . . . even when planted in the rockiest terrain.

This touching story shows that even in the darkest moments, God can light the path to redemption and the heart of joy.
