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;}\"\u003e or \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/canonpress.com\/app\"\u003eListen on Canon+\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt last, a practical, Christian guide for grandmothers—and for younger women preparing for that stage of life! Since our culture is in love with immaturity, advice written for \"older\" women can tend to focus on changes: empty nests, new priorities, grown children getting married, etc. But the Bible tells us to focus on the things that don't change: In all seasons of life, God has good works prepared in advance for us to walk in. And whether you're a young woman, married, unmarried, widowed, middle-aged, or a great-grandma, you never quit exercising that faith in Christ. Grandkids and getting older, dinners and hospitality, mentorship and being an \"in-law\" all come with their own stretches of bumpy road, but faith and joy (and a little of Nancy Wilson's practical advice) go a long way. Women travelling through this season should be thinking in terms of family legacy—and in terms of eternity—as they seek godly wisdom, great joy, and a silver-haired crown of glory. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou can purchase the audiobook here or on \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.audible.com\/pd\/The-Silver-Lining-Audiobook\/B09SVSF1RF?qid=1645637488\u0026amp;sr=1-1\u0026amp;ref=a_search_c3_lProduct_1_1\u0026amp;pf_rd_p=83218cca-c308-412f-bfcf-90198b687a2f\u0026amp;pf_rd_r=850R8139GKYQ6TJ93BD2\"\u003eAudible\u003c\/a\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;\"\u003eFrom the Book:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"So this book is for those women who are traveling, as I am, through the seasons of life with the desire to grow in grace and wisdom, with the goal to keep pressing on to be fruitful and faithful.
