Emma Darlington combines Jane Austen's prayers with a beautifully illustrated biography of her life

Jane Austen is well-known as the beloved author of Pride and Prejudice, Sense and Sensibility, Emma, Mansfield Park, Northanger Abbey, Persuasion, and her unfinished novel Sanditon. Her novels sparkle with wit, romance, and insight into human nature, making her one of England's most cherished literary voices.

What is lesser known is that Jane embraced the Christian faith, was a deeply religious person and devoted to God. At the heart of this book are the manuscripts of Jane Austen's prayers that she wrote for family devotions at home. They are personal, beautifully written, and give us a glimpse into her heart.

Emma Darlington explores the importance of Jane's faith, the effect it had on her life and her novel writing, and how her upbringing surrounded by clergymen inspired the wonderful stories and characters she wrote about in her novels.
