Description:Why is it difficult to be content when you have so much?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. Originally prepared as an appendix to The Rare Jewel of Christian Contentment, this book provides an important conclusion to Burroughs’s sermon series on Philippians 4:11–12: “I have learned in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content. I know both how to be abased, and I know how to abound: every where and in all things I am instructed both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need.Table of Contents:Preface1. Introduction2. What Learning to Be Full Means3. The Difficulty of Learning to Be Full4. The Necessity of Learning to Be Full5. The Excellency of Learning to Be Full6. The Mystery of Learning to Be Full7. Lessons for Learning to Be Full8. Increasing the Guilt of Sins of Abundance9. Applications for Improving Prosperous Conditions10. Concluding Words on ContentmentSeries Description Interest in the Puritans continues to grow, but many people find reading these giants of the faith a bit unnerving. The Puritan Treasures for Today Series seeks to overcome that barrier by presenting Puritan books that are convenient in size and unintimidating in length. Each book is carefully edited with modern readers in mind, smoothing out difficult language of a bygone era while retaining the meaning of the original authors. Books for the series are thoughtfully selected to provide some of the best counsel on important subjects that people continue to wrestle with today.Author Jeremiah Burroughs (1599–1646) was a member of the Westminster Assembly and a prominent preacher among Congregationalists. Several of his works have been reprinted by Soli Deo Gloria Publications.Endorsement “Writing with deep pastoral conviction and keen theological precision, Jeremiah Burroughs proves a safe and sure guide into the important subject of contentment—what it means to delight in God’s fatherly disposal in every condition. Wonderfully edited by Phillip Simpson, Contentment, Prosperity, and God’s Glory is a certain blessing for all who seek to find their satisfaction in God’s unsearchable riches.” —J.
