In our discontented age--characterized by impatience, overspending, grumbling, and unhappiness--it's hard to imagine what true contentment actually looks (and feels) like. But even the apostle Paul said that he \u003cem\u003elearned\u003c\/em\u003e to be content in any and every circumstance. Paul's remarkable contentment was something \u003cem\u003egrown\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003edeveloped\u003c\/em\u003e over time.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eChasing Contentment\u003c\/em\u003e, Erik Raymond helps us understand what biblical contentment is--the inward gracious spirit that joyfully rests in God's providence--and then how we learn it. Giving us practical guidance for growing in contentment in various areas of our lives, this book will encourage us to see contentment as a priority for all believers. By God's grace, it is possible to pursue the high calling of contentment and anchor our joy in God himself rather than our changing circumstances.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eErik Raymond\u003c\/strong\u003e is the senior pastor at Redeemer Fellowship Church in Watertown, Massachusetts.
