Prayer and Praise - a Jane Austen Devotional: 50 Messages Inspired by Her Prayers & Illustrated by Her Celebrated Characters | Shannon Winslow
3 posts | 1 read | 5 to read
Did you know that Jane Austen wrote prayers in addition to her six classic novels? She was not only a woman of celebrated humor, intellect, and insight; she was a woman of faith.Prayer & Praise is a treasure trove of thought-provoking messages inspired by the lines of Austen's three preserved prayers. Atop a solid foundation of scripture, these 50 devotional segments (each finishing with prayer and praise) enlist familiar characters and situations from Austen novels to illustrate spiritual principles - in creative, often surprising, ways!Which one of Austen's characters developed a god complex? Who was really pulling Henry Crawford's strings? Where do we see examples of true repentance, a redeemer at work, light overcoming darkness? With a Biblical perspective, Austen's beloved stories reveal new lessons about life, truth, hope, and faith.

I finished this devotional yesterday morning, but I went back today and reread the prayers once more. I thoroughly enjoyed this look at Austen‘s work through a Christian lens.

Daisey @wanderinglynn Additionally, this makes for 50 days in a row of devotional reading as well as meeting my daily step goal for #BFC21! 4y

I‘ve been reading this book for almost a month now. It pairs a few lines of a prayer written by Jane Austen with a devotional referencing her characters, another prayer, and a praise scripture or song verse. It has been a wonderful way to start each day.

Virtual church has been hard on my spiritual life. So, one of my #BFC21 goals is to get back into the routine of daily Bible and devotional reading. I‘m starting the year with this devotional based around prayers written by Jane Austen. Each day includes an excerpt from her prayers, a devotional based on her characters, a prayer, and a praise scripture. So far I‘m really enjoying it.

Daisey @mom2bugnbee I have read a few of these now and I do like the format. So far the devotions themselves are pretty good, but I don‘t know that I‘ve read enough yet to have a strong opinion. 4y
