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.

More from Dana

The only thing more fun that writing about bloodhounds, is adding in some colorful new canine characters who aren’t quite your standard tracking champions. In this book, you’ll get to know Phil who was introduced at the end of book #3. He’s a livestock protector who steps in as a guide for Millie the bloodhound when her vision becomes impaired. Phil takes his job VERY seriously. He flat out refuses to wear a vest, or play with toys, and he doesn’t particularly like people, but he will lay his life down to protect Millie and Kara Wolfe. It was so much fun having this unlikely hero rise to the challenge as Kara and her ex-boyfriend must root out a saboteur on the local fish hatchery property. The secret they unearth will shock you, I hope! Please enjoy the adventure with Millie, Phil, and the rest of the Wolfe pack!

MY REVIEW

I’m always excited when I read a book from this author. She creates characters that are relatable and easy to be drawn to. Anything that involves dogs makes me want to dive right into the story. I love how we learn more about how dogs track and the many difficult terrain they have to cover. Her two dogs are quite the pair as you will discover. Take note of their special bond to each other. 

Kara is very dedicated to her dogs and is well versed in their abilities. Her attention to details helps make search and rescue  a little easier. Kara is taken back a little when she helps an old friend  find his missing mother. Why does he not recognize her? The bigger question is why did he cut ties with her? 

Beau has been through a very difficult time with his stint in the Marines. He has been diagnosed with something I am not familiar with at all. As his condition is revealed I understood why he had closed himself off from everyone. His condition is very fascinating and the author gives us great information about it. 

The story is action packed with just enough suspense to keep readers glued to the book. I like how the two main characters learn to trust each other. I couldn’t wait to find out who was behind the attacks on Beau and his mother. The family hatchery is on hard times which may be a reason someone is trying to cause chaos in the family. Also I wanted to know what Beau witnessed on a dark night that no one seems to find any evidence for. 

With the author’s ability to not only give readers a sense of danger but also to draw her characters to life lessons this story becomes  one that will have you on the edge of your seat. I applaud the author for her creative writing and how faith is implemented into the story. Another  successful book that puts this author on a must read list.

About the Author

Allen Brokken is a teacher at heart, a husband and father most of all. He’s a joyful writer by the abundant grace of God. He began writing the Towers of Light series for his own children to help him illustrate the deep truths of the Bible in an engaging and age appropriate way. He’s dedicated 15 years of his life to volunteer roles in children’s ministry and youth development. Now that his own children are off to college he’s telling stories and sharing clean humor on social media and through his blog.

 

 

More from Allen

As a writer, I tend to lean toward what I know for inspiration.  Actual life events or people I know shape what I write about.  As a ministry volunteer in church for over 15 years, I regularly saw the challenges children with ADHD or other spectrum disorders had with the church.  Volunteers are ill-equipped to understand their unique needs, and many of the young boys I worked with ended up having terrible experiences at church because they just couldn’t fit in.

So when I set out to write an early chapter book for boys I wanted to find a way to shine the light of God’s truth right where they lived.  Having been diagnosed with A.D.D., I understand these challenges and the general mentality.  On the one hand, this can have detrimental effects when being forced to sit in a chair with nothing to do but listen; on the other hand, it can supercharge tasks that require intense focus.

I also had inspiration from the existing Towers of Light series I wrote for a middle grade audience and pre-existing characters that children love.  So I worked with the real-life Logan to craft this story that exemplifies the spiritual gift of love as the antidote to the poison of the hateful strawberries.  Plus, the antics of Rascal the Raccoon add just the right touch of comedy and action to keep young children turning the pages.

MY REVIEW 

This is a cute story for younger children that has mystery, imagination and great lessons. I thought Logan was a typical young boy who likes to explore more than doing chores. He is tempted to disobey his parents which leads him on an adventure with a raccoon. The mention of strawberries in the story made me want to go grab some out of my fridge. 

I liked how the author was able to use the Fruits of the Spirit to illustrate how Logan knew he had messed up. When was the last time he showed goodness or even love ? He is so busy doing things that his patents don’t want him to do, that he has made them upset with him. Will they forgive him? 

The talk that Logan and his father had was very touching. Even though Logan has done some bad things, he hears his father telling him that he loves him. God does the same for each of us. We may sin or wander away from Him, but He still loves each of us. Logan is so tempted by something  he knows is wrong, that he forgets that there will be consequences.

More from Tamera

Oberlin College: Ahead of It’s Time

(Insert books picture) All three of my Ladies of Oberlin books feature women who graduated from Oberlin College shortly before the Civil War. Oberlin College, founded in 1833 in Northern Ohio, was a college ahead of its time in many ways. In 1835, it became the first college in the United States to regularly admit African Americans. It’s also the oldest co-educational college in the US. In 1837, it admitted four women, three of whom graduated and earned a college degree. Mary Jane Patterson, another Oberlin graduate, became the first African American woman in 1862 to earn a Bachelor of Arts college degree.

One of Oberlin’s founders once bragged that “Oberlin is peculiar in that which is good”. Oberlin was peculiar in many ways in advancing the causes of the time. Charles Finney, the second president of the college, helped it earn its controversial reputation. He was the founder of the Second Great Awakening, a Christian revivalist movement in the early and mid 1800s.

Oberlin College was the hotbed of abolitionist activity and a stop for the Underground Railroad before the Civil War. It was once called “the town that started the Civil War” because of its participation in the Oberlin Wellington Rescue in 1858. Slave catchers came to Oberlin to capture an escaped slave and return him to Kentucky. Most of the town came to the slave’s aid and rescued him. For their trouble, over twenty were arrested and put on trial for violating the Fugitive Slave Act. During the raid on Harper’s Ferry by John Brown, three men from Oberlin participated.

(Insert arch picture) Oberlin graduates have been involved in all of the movements of the late 1800s including abolition, women’s suffrage, the suffrage movement, and education as well as many charities and helped shape the nation for the twentieth century.

Oberlin was also very well known in the missionary movement of the late 1800s. Between 1860 and 1900, 90% of missionaries sent overseas by the American Missionary Society were graduates of Oberlin College. Between 1899 and 1901, thirteen missionaries from Oberlin were martyred during the Boxer Rebellion of China. An arch in Tappan Square at the center of Oberlin pays honor to their sacrifices.

MY REVIEW

My heart is still pounding after finishing this book. I appreciate the author tackling a very hard subject that is still prevalent today. Domestic abuse and alcoholism forces Betsy to take a long hard look at her marriage. She is strong and I love how she takes a stand against several causes that affect many in not only  the town but across the land. I loved how she always turned to God in her weakest moments. 

Nate has never been the same since he lost a leg in the war. He definitely is angry at the world and turns to drinking to ease his pain. He reminds me of a lost child looking for  someone to rescue him.  Nate doesn’t realize how much his drinking is affecting his life until a fateful day when his anger turns ugly. You can feel his desperation as he realizes that he has reached rock bottom. 

I loved this story because it is a realistic look at how the enemy slowly sneaks in and causes chaos. The author does a great job of letting  readers walk beside characters as they struggle with real life problems. I want to say so much more but for this story readers should experience the impact it has on our lives when we walk away from God.

Call in the Canyons Tour by Celebrate Lit 

About the Book

Book: Call in the Canyons

Author: Kathleen Denly

Genre: Christian Historical Romance

Release date: June 3, 2025

The bandits who murdered her father are back, but can she trust the sheriff to protect her home and her heart?

Sheriff Heath Monroe believed the wrong man, and although California’s most notorious gang leader was eventually brought to justice, Heath’s error shattered the confidence of the people he serves. With reelection looming, Heath is desperate to prove his worth. So when he learns of a new threat to the citizens of California, he doesn’t hesitate to take action, even though he knows the job will endanger the lives of those he cares about—something he swore he’d never do again. Haunted by the ghosts of past mistakes and second-guessing every decision, Heath sets out to put an end to California’s most dangerous bandit gang, once and for all.

Virginia Baker works hard to keep her desert cattle ranch going, and even harder to keep all men off her land. When the bandits who murdered her father return to her valley, memories of a friendship cut tragically short drive her to work with the all-male posse pursuing the gang in search of justice. Despite her determination to remain guarded, Heath Monroe’s steadfast integrity and unexpected humility begin to crack her defenses. But can she rely on the widower leading them, or will his secrets confirm her belief that no man is to be trusted?

 MY REVIEW

Working on a ranch is not easy as Ginny finds out everyday.  Trying to keep the animals safe, working from sunup to sundown is grueling work but our heroine is up for the challenge. Ginny is hardworking and at times forgets to give others grace. The illustration of the prickly plant was spot on. We need to remember that sometimes their prickly parts can hurt, but we need to approach them with grace. I couldn’t wait to see how Ginny handles trials that are coming her way. Will she soften her heart and let others help? 

Heath is out to prove that he is a good sheriff and can dependable. He did make a bad judgment call, but he hopes people will see his worth and re-elect  him. Hot on the trial of an illusive gang , Heath needs to keep his wits about him. I loved the action where Heath and a group of experienced gun fighters get ambushed. The author does a great job of making that scene come to life. It sure was hard during this time period as ruthless gangs fought against the law. 

I liked how Ginny was able to join up with Heath and his men to track down the gang. Ginny is out for revenge and Heath is determined to prove his worth as a sheriff. I won’t spoil the story but I can say it will be filled with danger, learning  to trust and forgiveness.

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

The Power of Unlikely Alliances: Breaking Stereotypes in Call in the Canyons

When we think of the Old West, we often imagine familiar archetypes: rugged cowboys, tough lawmen, and damsels in distress. These characters have been depicted time and again in Westerns but often missing the complexity that truly defines who we are as individuals. In Call in the Canyons, I wanted to push back against those typical stereotypes, creating a world where characters defy expectations, form unlikely alliances, and challenge preconceived notions about who can be a hero, a villain, or even a love interest.

Virginia Baker: A Strong, Independent Heroine
Virginia “Ginny” Baker is a woman who embodies strength and resilience. She’s not the typical “damsel” you might expect from a Western; in fact, she works harder than most men to keep her desert cattle ranch going. Virginia is fiercely independent, having learned early on that the world isn’t kind to women who rely on others. A devastating attack on her father’s ranch that left her the sole survivor only solidified this belief. Yet even as she pushes people away, Ginny’s story is about growth—learning to trust, learning to forgive, and ultimately, learning to let others in.

Ginny doesn’t just defy the stereotype of the helpless woman; she is also a representation of the idea that strength can coexist with vulnerability. She has scars, both physical and emotional, from a past that refuses to be forgotten. And when the very men who killed her father return to the region she calls home, she is forced to work with a posse of men she doesn’t trust. Ginny definitely doesn’t see herself as someone who needs saving, but she eventually realizes that sometimes strength isn’t about facing the world alone—it’s about being open to help when it’s needed and accepting the joy that can be found in true fellowship.

Sheriff Heath Monroe: A Man on the Path to Redemption
Sheriff Heath Monroe is a man haunted by past mistakes, carrying the weight of guilt and a deep fear of failure. His tragic history has made him wary of letting anyone, especially women, take risks. As Sheriff, he has tried to prove his worth, but his past continues to cast a shadow over every decision.

When a new threat emerges in Call in the Canyons, Heath must confront not only the dangers facing his community but his own reluctance to trust others’ decisions. Through his partnership with Ginny, he begins to see that redemption isn’t just about regaining respect—it’s about letting go of the past, learning to let others take risks, and, most importantly, learning to trust God.

Challenging Stereotypes and Breaking Barriers
One of the most rewarding parts of writing Call in the Canyons was exploring how these two characters—Ginny and Heath—push against the boundaries of their worlds. Virginia’s fierce independence challenges the notion that women in the Old West were relegated to secondary roles. She’s not just a survivor; she’s an active participant in her own story, driving the action and decisions that shape her fate.

Heath, on the other hand, challenges the idea that a “hero” must be flawless. His struggles with guilt, loss, and self-doubt make him a hero not in spite of his flaws but because of them. His vulnerability makes him someone readers can empathize with and root for, as they see his journey not just as one of professional redemption but personal healing as well.

Both of these characters also challenge the notion that our past defines us. While acknowledging the very real impact that trauma has on us, their journeys demonstrate resilience and hope for joy-filled futures.

But the breaking of stereotypes isn’t limited to these two characters. Call in the Canyons is a world where characters of different backgrounds, races, and experiences interact and challenge each other. One of the novel’s key themes is that people should not be judged based on their race, their family, or even their past, and this is reflected in the relationships that develop over the course of the story.

An Unlikely Pair
Ginny and Heath’s evolving relationship is an example of an unlikely alliance—a pairing that grows from mutual distrust into something deeply beautiful. She’s been betrayed by men in the past; he’s been betrayed by his own decisions. Yet as they work together, they come to see each other as more than just their past mistakes or preconceived notions.

This journey from mistrust to love is a key theme in Call in the Canyons, and it mirrors the larger narrative of overcoming prejudice and embracing the idea that redemption and healing are possible, no matter who you are or where you come from.

Why It Matters
As readers, we often find comfort in familiar stories and familiar characters. But it’s the stories that challenge our assumptions and push us to reconsider what we believe that leave a lasting impact. In Call in the Canyons, I wanted to create a story that would give readers not only the exciting journey they expect in a Western but also something new, something to think about long after they’ve turned the last page

For that reason, Call in the Canyons is an adventurous story of healing, redemption, justice, faith, and love in all its beautifully messy forms.

To celebrate the release of Call in the Canyons, I am offering a giveaway package:

• 1 metal sign depicting Cowgirls and listing scripture that reinforces who God says you are
