Books: The Jane Austen Series

The Jane Austen Series books by Debra White Smith stacked atop each other with Jane Austen duck sitting on book pile against white blanket

The Jane Austen Series by Debra White Smith is a fun, Christian contemporary version of Jane Austen's beloved six novels. These gorgeous covers were released by Bethany House in 2018 and beautifully complement the bookshelves!

As a member (and former librarian) of a local chapter of the Jane Austen Society of North America (JASNA), I made sure to add this collection to our library 😀

I read these books when they first came out back in Bible college, and it amazed me that two of my favourite things at the time could be combined: Christian fiction + Jane Austen ❤️ Many years later, I remain a fan!

Side note: The Jane Austen duck is from The Jane Austen Centre of Bath, U.K. 🐤

Review: Breath of the Almighty

I've had the pleasure of revisiting my love of poetry through reading poignant and touching collections of Christian poetry that I've been introduced to on Instagram. I'm grateful that Breath of the Almighty by Shay McNally came at just the right time for me, tugging on my heart and my mind through verses that point back to God in every breath and poem. Many thanks to the author for providing a complimentary copy of this book for review consideration. All opinions are my own.

These poems move through topics such as family, grief, soul searching, healing, love, marriage, calling, spiritual warfare, prayer, forgiveness, and the ordinary places where Christ shows up when we least expect it. Each poem is rooted in Scripture and lived-in faith, and grounds lofty theology to an eve...

Plugging Away

This week has looked a little different for me as I haven't been sharing reviews here or on Instagram . They'll be coming, but I am also welcoming the break from the pressure to finish books in time for me to post about them. While I still love reading and reviewing books, I want to go at a slower pace this year. What I thought was sustainable last year has now left me feeling a little like I've had to meet work deadlines on top of work outside of this. That's the last thing that I want to go through, as I want to keep having the capacity to blog 😀 I admit that it's been a nice reprieve from creating creative content where I can just read or write instead. I'm hopeful that February will be a nice month to recover from the busyness of January and to enjoy being in God's presence. Happy February!
