About this book
Recovering the Lost Art of Contentment
The biblical practice of contentment can seem like a lost artāsomething reserved for spiritual giants but out of reach for the rest of us. In our discontented ageācharacterized by impatience, overspending, grumbling, and unhappinessāit's hard to imagine what true contentment actually looks (and feels) like. But even the apostle Paul said that heĀ learnedĀ to be content in any and every circumstance. Paul's remarkable contentment was somethingĀ grownĀ andĀ developedĀ over time.
InĀ Chasing Contentment, Erik Raymond helps us understand what biblical contentment isāthe inward gracious spirit that joyfully rests in God's providenceāand 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.
