Beskrivning
Contentment may not be what we expect. It may be more profound than we imagine. But it is within easy reach of all of us.If anyone has a right to feel angry with life, then the author is a strong candidate. Having battled with lung disease from a young age, suffered at the hands of bullies, and, reluctantly, given up her much-loved teaching job, she has plenty to complain about.But she has made a point of exploring contentment. She has drawn particularly on Paul's letter to the Philippians. 'Contentment is something we can all catch hold of,' she believes, 'whatever circumstances we find ourselves in.'This is a message which we need to hear, whether we are lifelong sufferers, like the author, or facing deprivation or injustice of another sort. Or we may simply have fallen into bad habits. We cannot fail to be uplifted, and hopefully transformed, by the author's discoveries as we learn to buck trends within society and the church.

Recensioner i media

This is the best book I've read in the last five years! It's honest and real and full of truth, but truth that builds up and encourages; a journey into knowing that God doesn't always heal us physically, or change the painful circumstances of our lives, but he will always 'come into the dust' of our sickness and pain with us, bringing his transforming love and comfort.
