Synopsis

Contentment: It's not what we think. If we think that someday we will reach that magic moment when more becomes enough, we need to think again. Such a moment never comes, because the self does not know the meaning of enough. In fact, the words "more" and "enough" do not even apply to real contentment. In The Contentment You Long For, Albert Lawrence provides us with God's original prescription for deep and lasting contentment. Through relevant Bible passages, personal experience, and anecdotes the author shows: · What our discontent can teach us · Why we need not settle for things that do not and cannot satisfy our longings · How we can have God's approval, favor, and blessing in our lives · And much more. "An engaging treatment of human flourishing, written from a biblical viewpoint, and with the heart of a pastor." -David G. Myers, professor of psychology at Hope College, Holland, Michigan, author of The American Paradox, The Pursuit of Happiness, and Psychology, a textbook used widely in colleges and universities. "Albert Lawrence leads us into the Scriptures to show us that true contentment can only come from a vital relationship with God. Every Christian will benefit from either an introduction to or a review of the timeless truths set forth in this book." -Dr. Jerry Bridges, on staff with the Navigators collegiate ministry and author of The Pursuit of Holiness, Trusting God, and The Practice of Godliness.
