The Rare Jewel of Christian Contentment
por Jeremiah Burroughs · 232 páginas · Inglés
Jeremiah Burroughs's Puritan classic on the art of Christian contentment, showing how a heart submitted to God's providence finds peace in every circumstance.
Based on a series of sermons on Philippians 4:11 ("I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content"), Burroughs examines Christian contentment as an art that is learned, not a temperament one is simply born with.
With the characteristic style of Puritan preaching — careful definitions followed by practical application — the book distinguishes biblical contentment from both stoic resignation and indifference, showing that it grows out of active trust in God's providence.

This book exemplifies Puritan pastoral theology at its best. The title itself captures the imagination and stimulates thought: contentment is a jewel — and so we should value it highly; but it is rare and so we need to seek it.
