The Rare Jewel of Christian Contentment (Jeremiah Burroughs) (#7)
$8.00Without a doubt, the most readable and useful book ever written to promote a contented, thankful, uncomplaining and grateful walk with God. We live in a world of grumblers, discontent with God’s widespread goodness. It is all too easy for Christians to share in this spirit with the world.
This book, in typical Puritan form, “doctors” us by proposing remedies to our “spiritual disease” and helps us grow a spirit of thankfulness in its place.
The author focuses especially on helping to bring calm and contentment to the hearts of those in sad and discouraged times. He also aims to promote peace and harmony among believers with various differences of opinion.

Learning Contentment: A Study for Ladies of Every Age (Nancy Wilson)
$10.79We tend to think being “stressed out” is a normal state of affairs, and that contentment means sitting back and just bottling things up. 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.
It is certainly easier to just go with our natural impulses when times are “annoying” or when times are very hard, but contentment is an important part of our Christian life. Even the apostle Paul had to “learn” 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.

Worldly Saints: The Puritans As They Really Were (Leland Ryken)
$17.50Dr. Ryken’s presentation of the Puritan view and style of life is perceptive and accurate. He allows them to speak for themselves on topics ranging from the subjects of church and worship, to money, to marriage and sex. While recognizing that the Puritans were imperfect, as all men, and able to see their faults, the author still paints a favorable and sympathetic portrait of them overall.
