Debut Novel Tells a Story of Hope and Eternity

New Xulon title highlights importance of choices we make in our lives

(PRWEB) May 11, 2008 -- When Mya Jacobson falls into a coma after an accident, her experiences change her perspective on life--and death. Upon waking, she wonders if what occurred was only a dream. Along with the new challenges she faces, odd things begin to happen, leaving Mya with some difficult choices to make. Code blue will never mean what it once meant to Mya, and perhaps to any reader who enjoys Xulon author Jill Jones' newly released book, A Journey Beyond Code Blue ($15.99, paperback, 978-1-60266-728-0), which tells a story of hope and eternity.

Says Jones, "My story deals with everyday issues but also deals with tough issues as rejection, amputation, and even death. It's more than fiction. (My story) has many real-life lessons we can all benefit from, such as the power of forgiveness and accepting God's forgiveness. I believe my story will inspire readers by helping them gain insight into biblical truths that are useful in everyday life, no matter their theology."

Inspired by the belief that the choices we make not only affect our lives, but our eternity as well, Jones penned her novel to share this knowledge with others who are perhaps struggling with being obedient to God. But, says the author, once she trusted God for all the important decisions in her life, the reward was huge. "Through the struggles, I've learned to trust God," she says. "If I can share that message with just one person and it makes a different in their life, then I have served a ministry God created me for."
