Crossing the Burn
By J.Y. Jones
BookLocker, 2002
Fiction, Christian Fiction
Set in the northern Georgia mountains in the 1950s, this book brilliantly highlights the best and the worst in the mountain folk that constitute its main characters. Travis Jackson is a young teenager whose passion for the outdoors is strongly stimulated by an irreverent elderly neighbor who is a cynical retired chicken farmer. The youth is also heavily influenced by an opinionated part-time preacher and packrat who lives nearby. As the boy matures, the tug of the two men's opposing philosophies and values creates a troubling tension that is central to the story. While both men are highly unconventional in their views of the world, the first mentors Travis by his considerable outdoor skills, especially in hunting squirrels and harvesting wild produce from the local environs. The second man lays the foundation for the youth's spiritual development through displaying a veiled spiritual strength. Along the way many Appalachian peculiarities are featured, bringing much local color into the fabric of the story.
The youth's life involves a diverse peer group, and his interaction with them produces numerous interesting adventures that are interwoven in a stimulating backdrop. Highlights include Travis' experience with his guardian angel, his discovery of the victim of an unsolved murder, an inexplicable belligerence towards him from a certain segment of the community, stumbling upon a deadly illegal activity that almost costs the boy his life, and the revelation of his elderly squirrel-hunting buddy's dark past. These elements combine dramatically to bring the tale to an exciting and unexpected conclusion that holds profound spiritual implications.

Worship Not The Creature: Animal Rights And The Bible
"Very rarely does a book come out that tackles such an important topic confronting our culture, an issue that is subtle and confounding to many. Dr. Jones does an insightful job of communicating the deception of the animal activist movement that is threatening the very essence of the Judeo-Christian worldview. This is the first book I have read that endeavors to present a true Biblical response to the animal rights agenda. I definitely recommend this book to anyone who wants to better understand this insidious movement and the Biblical viewpoint a Christian should have toward it."
― Dr. William Franklin Graham IV, Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, Charlotte, North Carolina
Worship Not The Creature: Animal Rights And The Bible
‘This book is so gripping that I found it difficult to put down. I have known Dr. Jones for many years as a physician, hunter, author, and close friend. He and his wife Linda were frequent guests in our home in Washington, D.C., when I was in the U.S. House of Representatives, attending the National Prayer Breakfast and State of the Union Address, among other activities. His beliefs are deep-seated and convincing. Anyone should find this read to be thought-provoking and intensely interesting.’

I never saw so complex advise for grizzly bear hunting preparation. Thank you Mr. Jones for another great book. All hunters have to have it in library if they hunting for grizzly or not."

Blind Ambition by J.Y. Jones
"If you like classic good versus evil themes like those revealed in the movie" Devils Advocate" with Al Pacino or Dan Browns' book " Angels and Demons" and the follow up movie with Tom Hanks, then you will really like Dr J.Y. Jones's excellent book, "Blind Ambition". Set in a coastal south Georgia town, the book theme sets two established ophthalmologists on a collision course of self realization and soul searching as angels and demons try to intervene and influence the turn of events.One doctor is a good man trying to help his clients and ends up being sued by a greedy doctor who is addicted to lots of money, ambition, fast women and drugs and does not care how he achieves his goals.Thickening the plot is a host of angels working for the good doctor and bevy of demons pushing the evil doctor to prevail at all costs. Does it help to pray? You bet it does as you listen in on the inter musings of the angels and demons. Then you realize that we all face similar conflicts as we make daily decisions that effect the events in our everyday lives, just like the characters in this great book. The book is a wonderful, entertaining read and would make a great movie! I highly recommend it! John Trussell"

One Man, One Rifle, One Land
"I have really enjoyed this book. The hunting stories are real with no fluff or "made up" success and fabricated for entertainment value. Mr. Jones is not arrogant and brings reality to all of his hunts and this is a great reference for study of each of the animals he pursues. If you enjoy reading great hunting adventures or simply learning more about one of the species of big game on this continent, you will enjoy! This is a huge book and very well worth the money."
