S: I’ve enjoyed going through this devotional again. I love how Dodge takes small parts of Austen’s prayers each day and discusses them, giving examples from the novels. I’m very thankful that Dodge compiled these prayers and gives extra information about Austen, as well as resources for further study.

R: Indeed, I really enjoyed learning more about Jane Austen’s life and beliefs. I hadn’t been aware before that she was a strong believer or had written out prayers. I also appreciated the format of the book, as well as how Dodge pulled in Scriptures that either applied or that Jane must have been referencing herself. 

S: As we end this discussion over Jane Austen’s three prayers, we are looking forward to beginning a discussion over what has been considered by many to be Austen’s best work: Pride and Prejudice. If you want to join us, we’ll be starting our discussion in March.
