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\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline; color: #6fa8dc;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline; color: #ff9900;\"\u003e\u003ca style=\"color: #ff9900; text-decoration: underline;\" title=\"Trial and Triumph on Audible\" href=\"https:\/\/www.audible.com\/pd\/B0792K1V8G\/?source_code=AUDFPWS0223189MWT-BK-ACX0-105735\u0026amp;ref=acx_bty_BK_ACX0_105735_rh_us\"\u003eListen on Audible\u003c\/a\u003e*\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChristianity is a faith in love with history. God took on human flesh and dwelt among us. The Spirit carried that divine work over the centuries, providing courage and maturity even amid our imperfections. Christians find their true family line not through tribes and ethnic blood but in the bond of faithfulness and shed blood that has united our family for millennia. We too often view Church history as the story of obscure aliens instead of the lives of brothers and sisters, mothers and fathers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn this collection of forty-six brief biographies for children, Hannula sketches the stirring trials and triumphs of many famous and some lesser known figures in our family of faith—including Augustine, Charlemagne, Anselm, Luther, Bunyan, and C.S. Lewis. Through them we can begin to enjoy the old paths and find rest for our souls. \"Thus says the LORD: Stand in the ways and see, and ask for the old paths, where the good way is, and walk in it; then you will find rest for your souls\"(Jer. 6:16).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0154\/4706\/4624\/files\/Further_Reading_K-113.pdf?v=1747777140\"\u003eClick here to access the further reading section from\u003c\/a\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0154\/4706\/4624\/files\/Further_Reading_K-113.pdf?v=1747777140\"\u003e the back of the book.\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou can also purchase this as an audiobook here, on \u003ca title=\"Trial and Triumph on Audible\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/www.audible.com\/pd\/A-Serrated-Edge-A-Brief-Defense-of-Biblical-Satire-and-Trinitarian-Skylarking-Audiobook\/B07D9385RR?qid%3D1562178701%26sr%3D1-12%26pf_rd_p%3De81b7c27-6880-467a-b5a7-13cef5d729fe%26pf_rd_r%3D4NY941T4SQVHPRE8THD1%26ref%3Da_search_c3_lProduct_1_12\u0026amp;source=gmail\u0026amp;ust=1562266018989000\u0026amp;usg=AFQjCNHlwufl2BIUvNxEgG3714Uy6mIeow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.audible.com\/pd\/B0792K1V8G\/?source_code=AUDFPWS0223189MWT-BK-ACX0-105735\u0026amp;ref=acx_bty_BK_ACX0_105735_rh_us\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eaudible\u003c\/a\u003e,* on \u003ca data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/www.scribd.com\/audiobook\/407655342\/A-Serrated-Edge-A-Brief-Defense-of-Biblical-Satire-and-Trinitarian-Skylarking\u0026amp;source=gmail\u0026amp;ust=1562266018989000\u0026amp;usg=AFQjCNHkdcW8851hG_fe5TTlqF_Ayih21g\" href=\"https:\/\/www.scribd.com\/audiobook\/407662902\/Trial-and-Triumph-Stories-from-Church-History\" target=\"_blank\"\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 \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eWhat People Are Saying:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Here are forty-six gripping stories of men and women of Christ from Polycarp to C.S.
