Christian Novel: Under the Blood
Local author Jiffy Day has released his newest novel, Under the Blood: Bobby’s Mission, a powerful Christian fiction story that weaves together faith, family, history, and the unseen spiritual battles that shape everyday life.
Set against the familiar backdrop of Southwest Virginia—including Montgomery County, Galax, Shawsville, and the Blue Ridge Mountains—the novel follows Bobby, a young man called into ministry whose life becomes a remarkable journey of faith. From witnessing the lasting effects of the Vietnam War on lifelong friends to serving in inner-city street ministry and missionary work in Mexico, Bobby learns that the greatest battles are often the ones fought within the human heart.
Rich with authentic Appalachian settings and memorable characters, Under the Blood: Bobby’s Mission explores themes of redemption, perseverance, forgiveness, and trusting God through life’s most difficult seasons. Readers will encounter moments of humor, heartbreak, adventure, and hope as Bobby navigates unexpected challenges while remaining committed to his calling.
Drawing on decades of life experience and a deep understanding of Christian ministry, Jiffy Day delivers a story that will resonate with readers who enjoy inspirational fiction, Southern storytelling, and novels that encourage faith during uncertain times.
“This book reminds us that while the world around us constantly changes, God’s faithfulness never does,” said Day. “Every person faces struggles, but through faith there is always hope.”
