Being Content God’s Way & Workbook Tour by Celebrate Lit

About the Book

Book: Being Content God’s Way and the Being Content God’s Way Workbook

Author: Scott LaPierre

Genre: Christian Nonfiction

Release date: May 21, 2024

Philippians 4:12 reveals a profound truth: there is a “secret to learning contentment.” As Paul declares in the next verse, the secret is the strength Christ provides: “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” Just as a tree’s unseen root system gathers vital resources for the tree, the unseen part of contentment is being “rooted and built up in Christ” (Colossians 2:7).

With Being Content God’s Way, you will…

learn to “be content with what you have” (Hebrews 13:5)
enjoy personal stories and application to daily life
be equipped to put off covetousness (Colossians 3:5)
receive biblical answers to common questions
discover why “godliness with contentment is great gain” (1 Timothy 6:6-10)

Contentment is not an elusive concept. Instead, it is a tangible reality within our reach through a relationship with Christ.

About the Workbook

The perfect companion to Being Content God’s Way!

James 1:22 says, “Be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.” A common mistake with God’s Word is believing we have done enough by learning without applying. Our responsibility goes much further than simply obtaining information.

This 13-week in-depth Bible study will reinforce the teachings from the book so you can be not just a hearer (or reader) but a doer (or obey-er). You will be given the tools to apply the reading and cement the teachings in your heart.

Inside, you will find:

Helpful guidelines for deepening your relationship with Christ
Thoughtful questions for self-reflection
Insightful observations to help you grow spiritually

The workbook is a 3-month study to help you become rooted and built up in Christ. This great tool is perfect for individual use or group study.

More from Scott

We all want to be content, but should you trust what I, Scott LaPierre, have to say about this topic? Yes, for these three reasons…

First and foremost, I am not asking you to trust me but God. My book is not simply a collection of my thoughts and opinions but God’s words revealed in Scripture, which is why the book is filled with so many verses. God knows how we can be content and overcome covetousness. I want readers to understand what He says about these topics.

Second, I have preached extensively on contentment and covetousness to the church I serve. The sermons involved hundreds of hours of Bible study, which I used to write Being Content God’s Way.

Third, much of the counseling I perform is related to contentment and covetousness. When couples come for marriage counseling, they want to see their spouse change. More often, I help them be content with each other. When people have financial problems, I help them overcome covetousness to be better savers and givers. In other words, I have experience assisting people to become content.

I poured my heart into the book and workbook because I am passionate about this area of Scripture and life. I am convinced that applying the biblical principles can change your life.

MY REVIEW

The title really grabbed my attention. I know I have had times where I am not content with where I am at. It may be that I’m anxious over something, wanting to get things done in a hurry or simply trying to move ahead of God. This book is a good tool to help readers find content with God while deepening their faith.

I like how the author illustrates different topics with scripture, stories and Biblical figures while guiding us to understand the Word better. The author talks about the Prodigal Son and shows us that he was not content with what he had. When he was out on his own, he realized that the grass wasn’t greener on the other side. Do we sometimes race toward something we think is better? When we find out that what we thought we needed was not good for us, we learn a lesson in being content.

God gives us free will. We can choose to be content with Him, or we can choose to turn away. “Contentment is more easily experienced by remembering that whatever we covet will only be enjoyed briefly.” God is with us everyday, and wants us to be content with Him. This book has made me realize that no matter what I go through, being content with God is the key. “If it is not God’s will to have, accomplish, or experience something, we must give up what we want and choose to be content with what God wants.”

I have enjoyed this study and would encourage others to grab a copy along with the workbook. It is well written and I liked how the author explains things with examples and scriptures. I want to be content by trusting God and knowing that He wants the best for me.

I received a copy of this book from Celebrate Lit. The review is my own opinion.
