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.

My Review:

This Bible study is one of the most interesting studies I’ve ever been through on the topic of contentment because the author first takes the reader on an in-depth study on covetousness.  The study is based on the Biblical principle of “put off, put on” and the author’s contention is that we have to first “put off” covetousness before we can truly “put on” contentment. The author defines covetousness for us by sharing many examples of this in scripture and then applying those to our lives today.

I loved the depth of this study.  This isn’t just a surface look at what the Bible says about contentment, but a pathway to become truly content.  After reading this, I have a better understanding of why we struggle with contentment in our daily lives and also the good news of how we can experience genuine contentment throughout our lifetime.

There’s a workbook that goes along with the study that would be very helpful for both individual or group study.

I voluntarily received a copy of both the book and the workbook from Celebrate Lit.  All opinions are my own.

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 saysabout 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.
