Happy New Year, everyone! We thought we’d start the new year off with something a little different. We’re going to be going through the devotional book Praying with Jane: 31 Days Through the Prayers of Jane Austen by Rachel Dodge during the month of January. 

Jane was a faithful believer and spent time every day in prayer and Scripture (her father was an Anglican minister). This devotional takes a look at three prayers Jane Austen wrote that were preserved by her sister Cassandra. We’re not exactly sure what form our discussion will take, but we liked the idea of studying these prayers of Jane’s to better understand her and her faith in God, and to increase our own knowledge and faith in God.

If you have the book, or would like to buy it and read along, we think you’ll find it a blessing.
