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=\"color: #6fa8dc;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0154\/4706\/4624\/files\/K-120.pdf?2694\" title=\"Popes and Feminists Look Inside the Book\" style=\"color: #6fa8dc; text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eLook Inside the Book\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eor \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/canonpress.com\/app\"\u003e\u003cspan color=\"#ff9900\" style=\"color: #ff9900;\"\u003e\u003cu\u003eListen on Canon+\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBefore the time of the Reformation, in the eyes of the Roman Catholic Church, a wife or mother was not a holy vocation. The only spiritual calling for women was to be found in a convent. The Reformers confronted the bad theology which lead to this (and other worse abuses, like priest-patronized brothels) and returned to the Bible to develop a theology of vocation that began to free women to be \"holy\" no matter their occupation. But today, modern feminist claims about vocation have more in common with the pre-Reformation popes than anything else—except feminists have replaced the nunnery with the hallowed corporate workplace. Christian women wondering about their place in society and comparing feminism with the Bible should start with the teaching of the Reformers and the lives of many exceptional women of the Reformation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePart history and part contemporary reflection, \u003cem\u003ePopes and Feminists\u003c\/em\u003e argues that women today have some of the same choices facing them as women in the sixteenth century. In this fascinating book, published on the five hundredth anniversary of the Protestant Reformation, Elise Crapuchettes shows how the Reformation changed the lives of Christian women as it turned them away from trying to earn their salvation in the convent towards a joyful, liberating view of vocation and work. And that changed their families and the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eYou can also purchase this as an audiobook here, on \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.audible.com\/pd\/B07X4L2PBD\/?source_code=AUDFPWS0223189MWT-BK-ACX0-162428\u0026amp;ref=acx_bty_BK_ACX0_162428_rh_us\" title=\"Popes and Feminists on Audible\"\u003eaudible\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e,* on \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.scribd.com\/audiobook\/422586914\/Popes-and-Feminists-How-the-Reformation-Frees-Women-from-Feminism\"\u003eSCRIBD\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, and wherever audiobooks are sold.\u003c\/span\u003e\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\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eWhat People Are Saying:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cstyle type=\"text\/css\"\u003e\u003c!--\ntd {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}\n--\u003e\u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-value='{\"1\":2,\"2\":\"\\\"It’s an intriguing proposition: that feminist dogma and Roman Catholic theology treat women’s pursuit of vocation in substantially similar ways.
