In a world where competition is sold as the key ingredient for success, few would ever think of contentment as one of the most important features of a true Christian. When even pastors and preachers are looking for counsel on how to improve their style, how to boost their leadership abilities, how to be more popular, to come with this idea of contentment seems rather odd. However, the Bible has so much to say on this topic, that its inspired authors came even to the shocking conclusion that, if you combine godliness and contentment, the result is of "great gain". So thought Puritan Thomas Watson, who penned this wonderful book on the what and when, and how of the divine contentment. This book has been originally published in 1855. Current edition has been proofread, typeset for eBook readers, and updated for modern readers.
