Jane Austen (Christian Encounters Series)

***Christian Encounters*, a series of biographies from Thomas Nelson Publishers, highlights important lives from all ages and areas of the Church.** Some are familiar faces. Others are unexpected guests. But all, through their relationships, struggles, prayers, and desires, uniquely illuminate our shared experience. Some may know Jane Austen simply as the English novelist whose books are required reading in high school and college. Perhaps it wasn't until the BBC's extremely successful TV miniseries of *Pride and Prejudice* or Emma Thompson's film *Sense and Sensibility* that many became entranced. Now younger readers are flocking to Austen with a unique twist in the bestselling *Pride and Prejudice* and *Zombies: The Classic Regency Romance*, by Seth Grahame-Smith. In this *Christian Encounters* biography, fans of Jane Austen will discover the Christian faith that was in the weft and weave of her character and how it influenced her writing and her life.Read less
