Contentment: Healing the hunger of our hearts

Product Review (submitted on 2 January 2009):

This "good book" guide is very comprehensive in dealing with the subject of Biblical contentment, whatever our circumstances or situation. It looks at the subject of contentment under 6 main headings:
1. our hungry hearts--searching for meaning
2. the only food that satisfies--pointing the reader to Jesus
3. being content with what we have
4. being content with where we are
5. being content when life is hard
6. the secret of true happiness--how we can be truly happy/blessed in Christ

The notes are the right length for the time alloted and are an appropiate length for the Scripture passage being studied. There is an optional extra in the "explore more" for those with more time or who want to study further after the group study is over. Useful notes and helps are to be found in the back for the group leader.

This study guide is particularly relevant as the country and indeed the world is thrown into financial chaos and so many are fearful for the future. In a world full of discontent, this study helps guide the Christian to a Biblical position of contentment and enables us to say with the apostle Paul, "Godliness with contentment is great gain."
