Publisher Description
The contented heart is never out of heart. Contentment is a golden shield that beats back discouragement. True contentment will trust God even when it cannot see Him. Why are you discontented? Is it because you are temporarily dispossessed of comforts? You who are discontented because you do not have all you would like to have, let me tell you, either your faith is a nonentity, or, at best, it is just an embryo. It is a weak faith that must have stilts and crutches to support it. Discontent is not only below faith, but it is also below reason. Discontent is unworthy of the relationship we have with God. Christians are invested with the title and privilege of sonship; we are heirs of the promise. God will be sure to reward the contented Christian.

"Loved this book! There is a mine of practical application throughout but ultimately Watson seeks to remind the Christian that his contentment is not simply in abstract truths or right-thinking but in Christ himself. A Christian has that which may make him content because he has Christ."

About Thomas Watson
Thomas Watson (c.1620–1686) was an English Nonconformist Puritan preacher and author. Watson was imprisoned in 1651 for his involvement in a plot to recall King Charles II. After his release in 1652, he became a famous preacher until the Restoration in 1660, at which point he was ejected for nonconformity.
