So this is not exactly what I was expecting. I was expecting more of a just simple daily prayer, but this book has much more than that. I learned more about Jane and her time. Good overall. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I don't know much about Jane Austen as a historical figure and I enjoyed reading these prayers that she wrote. I didn't find the devotional format of this book all that compelling; I would prefer to read a collection of Jane's prayers and writings, perhaps with some historical commentary, and then ponder them on my own.

If you are a fan of classic literature--- and more specifically Jane Austen, this is most certainly the devotional for YOU! In Praying with Jane, Rachel Dodge introduced us to three fantastic prayers written by Jane Austen, each with a section of their own. Each day we look at a few lines from that prayer and really take the time to dive deeper into her words, her life and her faith... and how we can apply these prayers into our lives too.

I must admit, I didn't really know all that much about Jane Austen's life before picking up this devotional. I found that not only did this devotional introduce us to her prayers, but it really did give us a great glimpse at Jane's life too. Those who aren't as familiar with Jane will love learning more about her, and those longtime fans will certainly love this chance to break down her prayers and focus on her faith a bit more.

While I must admit that I have not read through all 31 days at the time of this review, I am really enjoying what I have read so far. This is truly a very unique devotional that I think classic literature fans are certainly going to enjoy!

**I received a complimentary copy of this book from the publisher via Netgalley for consideration. All thoughts are 100% my own.

Praying with Jane: 31 Days through the Prayers of Jane Austen by Rachel Dodge is a charming book and idea. Devotions surround Austen's life in faith and prayer. You learn a little more about this fascinating writer while also getting Bible verses that go along with this. You will have time for devotion and thought while "Praying with Jane" as you learn more about her. This is done through prayer, excerpts from family letters, biographical information and elements of her novels. The scriptures chosen help give more details about Austen's thought. Any fan of Austen will enjoy this book and different approach to devotionals. If you aren't a fan of Austen then this book might not be for you, but if you'd like to learn more you will. This is so much more than a devotional book and I liked how you learn more with the depth of Austen. It is provoking and informational helping bring more thoughts to devotional time as if a friend is there with you -- a classic writer. It is interesting to learn and study the Bible through the prayers of Jane Austen.

Absolutely adored this book. The perfect read for Jane Austen fans. So sweet and well written. The author did an amazing job of presenting a carefully crafted book with the wise words from a well respected writer in the book community.

This book was such a lovely way to gain more insight into Jane Austen's private life, specifically her faith. I loved the way it was set up with a few days meditating on each of the prayers, along with guided devotional reading.
