Feeling peace in the midst of struggles and disappointments is not something that comes naturally to most. As Christians, however, this state of constant contentment is a waiting gift from God that needs only to be accepted and practiced. Puritan pastor Jeremiah Burroughs explains how to lean into God’s will and live in a way that is unafraid to fight temptation, overcome anxieties, and show God’s love to others.

The Rare Jewel of Christian Contentment by Jeremiah Burroughs is a classic work featuring clear and simple instructions on how to be content as a Christian.

On the surface, it seems unnecessary to instruct someone to be content in times of prosperity. However, times of prosperity and abundance provide some of the strongest temptations to pull our hearts away from God. Jeremiah Burroughs was keenly aware that the riches of this world compete for our affections and challenge our contentment in Christ.
