ABOUT THE BOOK
Daily Encouragement for Your Soul through the Prayers of Jane Austen.
For more than two hundred years, Jane Austen and her novels have charmed readers from around the world. While much has been written about her fascinating life, less is known about Jane’s spiritual side. In this beautiful 31-day devotional, Miss Austen’s faith comes to life through her exquisite prayers, touching biographical anecdotes, and illuminating scenes from her novels. Each reading also includes a thematically appropriate Scripture and a prayer inspired by Jane’s petitions.
May this journey into Jane Austen’s life of faith and prayer ignite and deepen your own relationship with the Father who loves you.

MY REVIEW
In a beautiful little book of thirty-one devotional readings, Rachel Dodge explores the life and work of Jane Austen as they relate to faith and Scripture. Each day is a short, yet purposeful read, an uplifting way to incorporate prayer daily.
As a casual fan of Austen, I enjoyed my time with Praying With Jane. Dodge brings her to life with relevance and grace, and I began to understand her in a new way. I think fans of the beloved author, too, could also benefit from the devotional—if you’re in need of some Austen-based encouragement, definitely pick it up.
★★★★
I received a complimentary copy of this book and the opportunity to provide an honest review. I was not required to write a positive review, and all the opinions I have expressed are my own.
