  1. 1. The Rare Jewel Of Christian Contentment

    The excellency of that man who can be content in whatsoever state he is

    A pastoral and practical guide to finding true, spiritual contentment in every circumstance, arguing that contentment is both a duty and a blessed fruit of grace. It explains why Christians should be content—rooted in God’s sovereignty, providence, and the believer’s union with Christ—identifies common causes of discontent, and offers concrete means for cultivating gratitude, patience, and trust (such as right thinking, prayer, and meditation on mortality). The work emphasizes the inward transformation required for lasting peace, warns against worldly comparisons and self-will, and points to the spiritual benefits of simplicity, endurance, and rejoicing in God.
