Description
In an age of anxiety and chronic dissatisfaction, the Puritans knew a secret that still speaks today. The Rare Jewel of Christian Contentment is Jeremiah Burroughs’ masterful exposition of Philippians 4:11 — the apostle Paul’s declaration that he had learned to be content in every circumstance. This modern-English edition faithfully preserves Burroughs’ rich biblical wisdom while making it accessible to contemporary readers. You will discover that contentment is not a natural disposition or a stoic resignation, but a hard-won grace that can be learned and deepened through fellowship with Christ. Burroughs explores the nature, mystery, art, and excellence of contentment, and exposes the evils of discontentment with unflinching honesty. Whether you face prosperity, loss, hardship, or daily monotony, this classic guide will lead you to a peace that does not depend on circumstances. Part of The Modern Wisdom Library.
