A Call to Contentment
Pursuing Godly Satisfaction in a Restless World
David Kaywood
Finding biblical contentment
Practical steps
Includes discussion questions
Do you find yourself worrying, coveting, grumbling, giving way to unrighteous anger, or dwelling unhealthily on the past or the future? You might be discontent – and it might be leading you into all sorts of other sins. Kaywood tackles three common areas of discontentment – money and possessions; pain and suffering; success and work – and digs into the reality of our desires. Ultimately, Kaywood invites readers to focus on Jesus: the God who became poor for us and suffered for us, and who calls us to work for him. If you are looking to live a life of contentment, start by reading this book.

Rise and grind, we’re told. Never be satisfied. Have at least one side hustle, maybe two. I’m thankful David Kaywood … offers a way out of our frothy mess of anxiety into the calm of godly satisfaction.

… the right book at the right time. And I’m quite certain it will prove to be the same for you.

The Apostle Paul declares that contentment must be learned (Phil. 4:12), and David Kaywood’s book has much to teach us about this rare jewel that is worth learning about. In our restless world we need to find rest in the One who alone can satisfy. I was encouraged by this book to do just that. I recommend it.

… biblical, insightful, and practical. My copy is full of highlights to review and apply; I’m sure yours will be too. It’s such a helpful book on a topic that really matters for God’s glory and the good of our souls.
