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.

Convicting and practical! A Call to Contentment shines the light of Scripture on our generation’s besetting sin, exposing the many ways we become ensnared by discontentment and helping readers to understand, apply, and cultivate that sweet and precious attitude of Christ–honoring contentment regardless of life circumstances.

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

Author, ‘Seasons of Sorrow’
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.
