Synopsis

Through her own personal experiences and years of focused Bible study, Tracy Wilde investigates one of the greatest mysteries of modern Christian life: contentment. She reveals that contentment differs from happiness, and is not something you can implement in a day—it takes time, practice, and an awareness of the draining distractions that rob us of joy, satisfaction, gratitude, and trust.

In this book, Tracy explores the life of Paul the Apostle to show how we can live a life of fulfillment no matter the circumstances. Using the Biblical book of Philippians, Tracy presents contentment as a crucial practice for all followers of Jesus. She distinguishes the differences between happiness (shallow and short term) and contentment (deep and lasting), examines our tendency toward entitlement, and acknowledges the fear and anxiety when life gets tough.

With her lyrical prose, profound insight, and "heart for people" (Lisa Bevere, New York Times bestselling author), Tracy offers encouragement and confidence as she helps you learn the secret of contentment and helps you focus on all that is good and true and beautiful so you can see your life anew.

Goodreads review by Carmen Shea on December 29, 2021

I was really looking forward to reading this after reading her first book, "Finding the Lost Art of Empathy," which I absolutely loved. I have to be honest. This one missed the mark for me a little. Or maybe a better way to say it is I wish she would have gone a little deeper, as she left some aspec......more

Goodreads review by Laura on December 19, 2021

While I am not one to seek out Christian lifestyle books (I think they are overall too “fluffy”) this one was incredibly timely and I think that’s why I enjoyed it so much. So many truths were spoken and truths I needed to be reminded of in the season I’m in.......more
