Introduction

An Honorable Legacy

F or two centuries now women have had the opportunity to curl up with a Jane - photo 8

F or two centuries now, women have had the opportunity to curl up with a Jane Austen novel and get lost in the romantic stories of the English countryside. It is one of lifes great pleasures to finish a book and feel the satisfaction of not only having read a well-crafted story, but of learning a valuable life lesson about God and human nature.

Jane manages to accomplish all of that and more as she shows us through her words what love is. Hers is not a superficial, vain love, but a 1 Corinthians 13 loveone built on action, character, and honor. Any woman who has ever read or seen Pride and Prejudice longs for a lover like Mr. Darcy, a hero who comes to her and proclaims, Surely, you must know it was all for you.

As the ultimate answer to all questions, the Bible is the standard by which we compare everything. Austens writing is newly illuminated when held up to Scripture. In probing her novels for biblical insights on living and loving, we are reminded of humanitys innate desire for relationship with the Creator. Through Austens varied and colorful characters, we learn not only about true love but meaningful character. We strive for the humility, wisdom, wit, and grace of a Jane Austen protagonist while learning to recognize the superficial vanity and worldliness of so many other characters who concern themselves only with their own gain.

This book was crafted with the hope that readers would take the opportunity to get lost in the world of Jane Austena place where we can all pause in solitude, as though weve just finished a stroll in the garden with Jane and are now sitting down with her to tea, reflecting on important life lessons and taking in the beauty of the countryside. Through excerpts from her work, short devotions, and Scripture, we hope this book will bring you moments of peace while you allow Gods Word to shape your own character.

And while you rest for a moment in the simplicity of Janes words, perhaps your own life will grow a little simpler and more peaceful. Our wish is that through these spiritual insights into Janes writing, you, too, will grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord Jesus, who through His death and resurrection woos you with the declaration, Surely, you must know it was all for you.

Jane did her readers a great service when she used the gift God gave her to touch the world with her writing and wisdom. May each of us do the same with our own talent, and offer glory to God and beauty to our fellow man.
