He preaches truth. The Crown calls it treason.

It's 1771, and tensions run high in colonial North Carolina. Frontier preacher Robert Boothe has spent the last four years standing against unlawful taxes and government corruption.

To his close-knit congregation, Robert is a courageous man of God who defends the truth. To his wife and young daughter, he's a devoted protector who longs to shield them from the growing unrest. To the governor's men, he's a rebel who preaches a dangerous gospel of God-given freedom.

No one sees the doubts he wrestles in his own heart.

Then the governor's ambitious new agent arrives to make an example of Robert's resistance. Robert refuses to back down, even when he's arrested in front of his church on a Sunday morning. But when his family and church are caught in the crossfire, what price will Robert pay to keep them safe?

Industry Reviews

"Compelling and convicting, Preacher on the Run immerses readers in early America, bringing to light a piece of lesser-known history that shaped our nation. The characters come alive on the page and draw you in as they wrestle with faith, freedom, and the intersection of the two. Their fears and failures are relatable, their courage admirable, and their victories wholeheartedly rewarding. Jayna Baas crafts a beautiful and engaging story that will challenge your own faith and inspire you long after you've turned the last page."

-Megan Soja, award-winning author of Spark of the Revolution

"With lively dialogue and rich characterization, Jayna Baas brings to life a neglected chapter of the American Revolution."

-Lynne Basham Tagawa, author of The Shenandoah Road

"An entertaining, inspiring, and worthwhile read."

-The Old Schoolhouse Magazine
