For the Christian, however, contentment is something we must apply, work at, and make our own in every circumstance, because anxiety and frustration are not neutral behaviors.\\nIt is certainly easier to go with our natural impulses when times are very hard or even just \\\u0026quot;annoying,\\\u0026quot; but contentment is an important part of our Christian life. Even the apostle Paul had to \\\u0026quot;learn\\\u0026quot; contentment. So we shouldn't wonder why we're still in spiritual kindergarten—repeating the same lessons over and over again—if we haven't given ourselves to study contentment. Thankfully, every test God gives on contentment is open book (even the pop quizzes!). In Learning Contentment, Nancy Wilson looks to the Bible and Puritans like Jeremiah Burroughs, Samuel Rutherford, Thomas Watson, and Charles Spurgeon to help us develop the practical, spiritual strength and the perspective that comes from contentment's deep satisfaction with the will of God. This encouraging little book follows after Nancy Wilson's Virtuous: A Study for Ladies of Every Age. Learning Contentment includes concise explanations, application questions and assignments that will involve and challenge everyone, and lots of biblical wisdom for individuals and groups.\u0026quot;}\" data-sheets-userformat='{\"2\":769,\"3\":{\"1\":0},\"11\":4,\"12\":0}'\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline; color: #6fa8dc;\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0154\/4706\/4624\/files\/B-122.pdf?2587\" title=\"Black and Tan Look Inside the Book Sample\" style=\"color: #6fa8dc; text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eLook Inside the Book\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e or \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/canonpress.com\/app\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline; color: #2b00ff;\" mce-data-marked=\"1\"\u003eListen on Canon+\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-value=\"{\u0026quot;1\u0026quot;:2,\u0026quot;2\u0026quot;:\u0026quot;Contemporary America is fiercely divided between the left and the right on cultural issues, we're increasingly unable to draw biblical distinctions and think about these topics as Scripture does.
