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;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #6fa8dc; text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0154\/4706\/4624\/files\/G-102.pdf?2696\" title=\"Primer on Worship Look Inside the Book\" style=\"color: #6fa8dc; text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eLook Inside the Book\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e or \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/canonpress.com\/app\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline; color: #2b00ff;\" mce-data-marked=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan mce-data-marked=\"1\"\u003eListen on Canon+\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is no secret that our world desperately needs change. Politicians know this and use it to collect votes. Journalists exploit it to sell newspapers and magazines. Advertisers, to sell everything else. Each of these groups (and countless others) spend their lives working to convince others that they hold the key to a better country, a better life, a better future.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBut what exactly is this change we all long for? And how can it ever come about? \u003cem\u003eA Primer on Worship and Reformation\u003c\/em\u003e proposes that true change begins, not with a process or an idea, but through faithful worship. To witness true global change—true reformation—we must first pray the Lord that we would see worship at the center of life. The truth is that when the Word is faithfully preached, even the gates of hell tremble. When the Psalms are sung, the meek inherit the earth. When the church celebrates at the Lord's Table, those who mourn are comforted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf we learn these lessons and believe them to be true, we will find that through renewed worship God brings change to every facet of our lives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou can also purchase this as an audiobook here, on \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.audible.com\/pd\/B07XH3JQVF\/?source_code=AUDFPWS0223189MWT-BK-ACX0-163245\u0026amp;ref=acx_bty_BK_ACX0_163245_rh_us\" title=\"Primer on Worship on Audible\"\u003eaudible\u003c\/a\u003e,* on \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.scribd.com\/audiobook\/408688296\/A-Primer-on-Worship-and-Reformation-Recovering-the-High-Church-Puritan\" title=\"Primer on Worship on SCRIBD\"\u003eSCRIBD\u003c\/a\u003e, and wherever audiobooks are sold.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e* All purchases made through this link will earn us a small commission through Amazon Associates, an affiliate program.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e—\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDouglas Wilson\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eis a pastor in Moscow, Idaho, a father of three, and grandfather of seventeen.
