About this book

We all know what it is to feel discontented with our lives — with what we have, how much we can get, what we do, who we live with, how we are and what the future promises.

The constant hunger for something more may seem like the aches and pains of growing old — something that we must just put up with in this far-from-perfect world. But the Bible shows that discontent is the symptom of a lethal disease that will kill us if we do not find a cure. It was discontent that first led humans into rebellion against God, with the catastrophic consequences that have followed from that decision.

Endorsements

I love this small group study guide series from The Good Book Company. Christians are regularly told they should spend more time studying God’s Word, but sometimes there’s not a clear plan for how to do this. These study guides provide practical, step-by-step guidance on working through books of the Bible, along with wonderful questions that encourage reflection and application. I hope churches and Christian ministries will take advantage of this wonderful resource.

Michael J. Kruger President and Professor of New Testament, Reformed Theological Seminary, Charlotte, North Carolina

The aim of the The Good Book Company is to be biblical, relevant and accessible, and nothing embodies that ethos more than their Good Book Guides. Each guide provides a framework for your group to dig into the text of Scripture for itself while providing enough of a steer to keep you on track plus useful pointers towards application. The result is a great combination of fidelity to Scripture and ease of use.

Tim Chester Crosslands Training; Author of Enjoying God

The Good Book Guides are an immensely precious resource for the church. A careful blend of helpful context and clearly-worded, searching questions which aim to help readers to uncover the meaning of the text and  apply it in responsible ways. I think these small group studies are the best available and pray that they will continue to prove helpful to local churches across the world!

4.00 stars Excellent very clear but rather too much for 1hr group

 

Plainly put easy for leader but too much to dijest in 1hr which is our time shedule .

4.00 stars OK with me, depends on individual

 

Our group has Xlnt facilitators, I trust whatever they recommend. I'm very satisfied with this study. I've studied much in my life but learned more now. Personally, II don't like the format: print too small; like full pages; just me. Also dislike Q&A, prefer discussion; not a problem. Thank you.

5.00 stars Thoughtful, practical, and generates good discussion

 

We went through this workbook as a women's ministry this summer. Each lesson stands alone, so it was easy for women to come and go without feeling like they were "falling behind." These lessons look at the topic of contentment from a different angle and passage; sometimes with surprising and provocative applications. This was my second time to work through this material and I found it just as fruitful this time, both personally and as a ministry leader.
