Why the Bible's call to contentment will bring more satisfaction than the world's desire for more and practical steps to finding it. While the Bible not only encourages contentment, but commands it, it can feel like a vague,fleeting, unachievable goal. David Kaywood's helpful book begins by moulding our understanding of what it means to be content. Do you find yourself worrying, coveting, grumbling, giving way to unrighteous anger, or dwelling unhealthily on the past or the future? You might be discontent and it might be leading you into all sorts of other sins.

These are practical steps you can take to increase the godly satisfactio
