Description
Discover the secret to lasting peace, even in suffering.
Written nearly 400 years ago, The Rare Jewel of Christian Contentment by Puritan preacher Jeremiah Burroughs offers a timeless, soul-strengthening answer to the problem of discontent. In an age of instant gratification and endless striving, Burroughs presents a radically biblical solution: true contentment comes not from getting more, but from desiring less—and aligning our hearts with the perfect will of God.
Unlike modern books that promise happiness through self-empowerment or external change, this classic work dives deep into the heart of the believer. Burroughs shows that lasting joy is rooted in an inner surrender, not outward success. With spiritual clarity and pastoral warmth, he teaches how to face adversity, resist temptation, and find stability in God alone.
A few timeless truths explored within:
-
Why contentment is a spiritual discipline—not a personality trait
-
How discontent leads to sin, bitterness, and spiritual weakness
-
The role of humility, trust, and divine providence in Christian joy
-
How to glorify God by embracing your present circumstances
Filled with rich theology, scriptural insight, and practical application, The Rare Jewel of Christian Contentment remains a spiritual treasure for every generation. Ideal for devotional reading, small groups, or personal growth, this book will challenge and comfort you in your walk with Christ.
“Certainly our contentment does not consist in getting the thing we desire, but in God's fashioning our spirits to our conditions.” —Jeremiah Burroughs
