guest book review & giveaway by Samantha Robinson

contentment-godly-womans-adornment-lydia-brownback-paperback-cover-artA dear friend sent me this cute little book during a time when I was struggling with being content in my present circumstances. I was also going through a spiritually “dry” time in my life and really wasn’t in the mood for a lot of heavy reading. This book was perfect and just what I needed. At only 107 pages, it’s broken down into little chapter sections for easy reading. The book’s size is convenient for “on-the-go” girls.

I love how the introduction gets right to the point: “Our unhappiness does not spring from what we lack. It springs from our desire from what we lack.”

We crave all these things- love, comfort, independence, self esteem and more and we’re unhappy because we’ve come to expect such things, esp. in today’s society.

Happiness and contentment comes from where we look and what we believe and not from what we have.

Filled with gentle yet firm encouragement, this book will help you discover what God’s Word says about contentment and you’ll soon realize that God truly does want you to be content and happy. The choice is ours :) 1st Timothy 6:6-8
