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;\" data-mce-style=\"text-decoration: underline; color: #6fa8dc;\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0154\/4706\/4624\/files\/F-227.pdf?v=1668210380\" title=\"Why Children Matter Look Inside the Book Interior Sample\" style=\"color: #6fa8dc; text-decoration: underline;\" data-mce-style=\"color: #6fa8dc; text-decoration: underline;\" data-mce-href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0154\/4706\/4624\/files\/F-227.pdf?v=1668210380\"\u003eLook Inside the Book\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e or \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/canonpress.com\/app\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline; color: #6fa8dc;\" data-mce-style=\"text-decoration: underline; color: #6fa8dc;\"\u003eListen on Canon+\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThroughout Scripture, God makes covenants with His people. This is not just a contract, but a personal bond in which God takes responsibility for His people, and His people respond to him in faith. This is true of our relationship with God, and it is true in the case of lesser covenants, such as the covenant family.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn this short book, Pastor Douglas Wilson shows how the family should live in the light of what the Bible says about the covenant. The husband is the head of the household, and this means that the problems of the family members are not \u003cem\u003etheir\u003c\/em\u003e problems but \u003cem\u003ehis\u003c\/em\u003e problems. The husband cannot just dismiss his wife’s problems as something she needs to work through by herself, and the father cannot complain when his kids get into trouble. They are his people.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book covers everything from marriage to childrearing to cultural engagement. The family is not just a collection of individuals: it is a unit joined together by God, and we should live as though that were true, because it is.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: center;\" data-mce-style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFrom the Book\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"I have yet to see a husband who takes godly responsibility for his wife and then whose wife takes ungodly advantage of it. I am sure it has happened sometime, but I haven’t seen it yet. Wives are built by God to be responsive. This is because, as Paul says, “he that loveth his wife loveth himself” (Eph. 5:28). As a general rule, a husband who loves his wife is not loving someone eager to take advantage of him: women are built to respond in love. It is amazing to me how much some wives can love with how little encouragement they get. But when a husband really loves his wife, he will discover that as he gives these blessings to his wife, he will discover that his wife consistently gives a bigger return. He shovels blessings on her, and then discovers that she has a much bigger shovel. He who loves his wife loves himself. She is always able to return more in blessing to him than he has given to her. Godly wives are multipliers.\" ~from the book\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e—\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDouglas Wilson\u003c\/strong\u003e is a pastor in Moscow, Idaho, a father of three, and grandfather of seventeen.
