Praying with Jane: 31 Days Through the Prayers of Jane Austen by Rachel Dodge Review

Hello and Welcome Sweet Friends :)

I pray today finds you all doing well, and I'm so thankful you've taken some time away from your crazy day to stop on by my little corner of the internet.

I'm Kirby, and I've been blogging here on The Preppy Book Princess since September of 2015, and I continue to love getting to use this space to share my love of books, especially those that honor our Heavenly Father.

Today's review is an extra special one for me because I've wanted to read this book for quite sometime, and I finally got around to doing so.

Rachel Dodge is one of very favorite devotional authors, and I've got to read and review a couple of her other titles. You can check out those reviews using the links below:

Now I hope you'll all keep on reading, and join me for today's review.

Praying with Jane: 31 Days through the Prayers of Jane Austen by Rachel Dodge:

Source: Library

Publisher: Bethany House

Publication Date: October 1st, 2018

Genre: Devotional/Christian Living/Non Fiction

Synopsis:

The charm of Jane Austen and her novels has been enjoyed for over 200 years by readers around the world. Much has been written about her fascinating life, yet little is known about Jane's spiritual side. In this lovely 31-day devotional, you will get an in-depth look at Miss Austen's vibrant, steadfast prayer and faith life. Her intimate relationship with the Father comes to life through her exquisite prayers, touching biographical anecdotes, intimate excerpts from family letters and memoirs, and illuminating scenes from her novels.

Spiritual insights and Scripture references shed light on the profound meaning behind Miss Austen's prayers and the enduring truths they contain. Each day ends with a key Bible verse and invitation to "pray with Jane," helping to ignite and deepen your own vibrant relationship with the Father.

My Review:

Rachel Dodge has become one of my very favorite devotional authors, and I've loved every title I've been fortunate enough to read by her. Praying with Jane was no exception, and this was a wonderful month long devotional that dives into the faith that sustained one of the world's most beloved authors.

As a longtime fan of Jane Austen, it was beyond inspiring getting to read the three prayers that she wrote that the family preserved. Jane's faith had such an earnest and heartfelt energy around it, and I loved how the author chose to split each prayer into multiple days to really dive into what she was trying to say, and the scriptures she would have been inspired by.

This book is easily one of my new favorites, and I'm looking forward to purchasing my own copy to reread it again in the very near future.

I can't possibly recommend this one (or any of Rachel's devotionals honestly) enough, and it's the perfect gift for any Jane Austen fan out there who wants to learn more about the earnest way she tried her best to live for her Heavenly Father.

Final Rating: 5/5.

Thanks so much for reading guys! Have a great rest of your day :)

Della and Darby by Susannah B. Lewis Review

Happy Monday Friends :) I pray today finds you all doing well, and I'm so thankful you decided to stop by my little corner of the internet. My husband and I actually have this week off of work for a much needed holiday, and I'm excited for the many fun things we have planned. Aside from the fun things, I'm honestly thankful to have some extra time to get my house back in shape, and to get more organized for Christmas. I also hope to have lots of time to curl up with some great reads, and I recently had a chance to read one of my most anticipated 2023 releases! Earlier in the year, I read my first novel by Susannah B. Lewis, and I couldn't have loved it more. It was definitely one of my favorite reads of this entire year, and I've been looking forward to reading her next release ever since.

First Line Friday: All's Fair in Love and Cupcakes

Happy Friday Everyone :) I hope you've all had a great week, and that you're looking forward to the weekend. Today I'm excited to once again be linking up with Hoarding Books for First Line Friday. First Line Friday is one of my favorite weekly memes, and it simply consists of sharing the first line of the book you're currently reading. I've had a lot of extra reading time on my hands lately because of all the social distancing, and as such, I've been able to read a lot of the titles that have been sitting on my shelves for quite some time. Today's book is one of such titles, and I'm happy that I finally found the time to get to it as I'm really enjoying it so far. All's Fair in Love and Cupcakes by Betsy St. Amant: About the Book: Kat inspected rows of the same old cupcakes. They seemed to blink back at her, as if they knew she was capable of so much more. Kat Varland has had enough of chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry. At twenty-six years old...
