Download or read book The Rare Jewel of Christian Contentment written by Jeremiah Burroughs. This book was released on 2015-11-29. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'I have learned to be content in whatever state] I am'' (Phil. 4:11) Anyone who lacks true contentment may find it in this book. If not, it will be because that one would not follow the very clear and simple instructions given. The teaching is from the Bible, yet it must be described as unique. Nowhere else will you find such unusual, but Biblically authenticated thoughts: He will teach you that contentment lies in subtraction, not in addition; that the ABC's of Christianity are nothing like what you thought them to be; that there is a mystery of contentment, but that once you have learned the way from Christ's word, you will be able to attain such a depth of contentment as you never before dreamed existed. This is a key book for building up Christian maturity. Christian Contentment, what is it? ''It is a sweet, inward heart thing. It is a work of the Spirit indoors. It is a box of precious ointment, very comforting and useful for troubled hearts in times of troubled conditions.

Book Synopsis Chasing Contentment by : Erik Raymond

Download or read book Chasing Contentment written by Erik Raymond. This book was released on 2017-03-16. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recovering the Lost Art of Contentment The biblical practice of contentment can seem like a lost art—something reserved for spiritual giants but out of reach for the rest of us. In our discontented age—characterized by impatience, overspending, grumbling, and unhappiness—it’s hard to imagine what true contentment actually looks (and feels) like. But even the apostle Paul said that he learned to be content in any and every circumstance. Paul’s remarkable contentment was something grown and developed over time. In Chasing Contentment, Erik Raymond helps us understand what biblical contentment is—the inward gracious spirit that joyfully rests in God’s providence—and then how we learn it. Giving us practical guidance for growing in contentment in various areas of our lives, this book will encourage us to see contentment as a priority for all believers. By God’s grace, it is possible to pursue the high calling of contentment and anchor our joy in God himself rather than our changing circumstances.

Book Synopsis The Power of Enough by : Lynn A. Miller

Download or read book The Power of Enough written by Lynn A. Miller. This book was released on 2015-09-29. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Lynn Miller is an admired friend with whom I share a passion for stewardship. His deep biblical insights and his ability to share them with both lightheartedness and profundity give him a unique ability to cause people to think in new ways about life stewardship. Lynn asks the right questions and his message is one that needs to be heard--for the sake of a culture brainwashed by the gospel of materialism." --Richard Towner, Vice President, Willow Creek Association, Barrington, IL "You never quite know where you will find Lynn Miller, but, wherever he is, Lynn notices relationships. The connective tissue between people, possessions, faith, finances, Scripture, culture, labor, and leisure captures his attention, and he mines these connections for meaning and promise. It is evident that the truth of God's 'enough' clearly shapes Lynn's daily life as well as his teaching and writing." --Ed Taylor, Executive Director, Ecumenical Stewardship Center, Indianapolis, IN
