Rare Jewel of Christian Contentment

Lovely reminders of the importance of gratitude

This is so helpful and it’s changed our lives for the better, helped us see the value in contentment and trusting in the Lord.Highly recommendIt would make a great gift

Though reading the puritans can sometimes require a lot of patience...it is well worth the reward. Jeremiah Burroughs helped me think through some very important realities concerning contentment and the dangers of discontentment. It's a great book to read together with a group of people from your church...we found that discussing the chapters we read helped up better understand what he was talking about and fostered encouraging times of prayer and fellowship.

Yes. Read it. Twice even. Thrice. Quad.Read it.

This book is a "rare jewel" as it is the original 1651 printing. However to truly read it, the paperback edition is far better though it has many spelling errors, only some of which are in the original. Yet, the lessons on describing and gaining true contentment with godliness are priceless as Burroughs was brilliant in using finely tuned reasoning and good illustrations to convey truths that only the spiritual mind can adequately grasp. The huge benefit is indeed a sense of God's peace being applied to one's day to day living. Having the original printing allows one to compare with the expressions and even the spellings in the paperback edition and conveys the feeling of doing the raw research personally!
