Product Description
“I have learned to be content,” wrote Paul many years ago. If Paul could learn to be content, then what a joy it is to realize there is hope for us as well. God’s peace and contentment can be ours—but as God’s blessings were conditional to Israel, contentment is conditional to us. If we learn to recognize the enemies of contentment like envy, loneliness, and ungratefulness, we can replace them with anchors of contentment like godly choices, obedience, and dependence.

A GREAT book for a Bible study or discussion group

I picked this book up planning to skim a couple chapters and take my time getting through the book, but Gayle Roper's writing style is so captivating that I read the book in two sittings. Great insight on the subject of contentment. The book covered areas I hadn't even thought of, such as the chapter on Divine Discontent--realizing that sometimes feelings of discontent are God-sent for a specific purpose. This would be an incredible book for a Bible study group and each chapter includes discussion questions.
