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.

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.

Book Excerpt

James 1:2 says, “My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials.” The word when (versus if) also communicates the inevitability of trials. Does this mean we should be happy in trials or when “in need, brought low, or hungering” (Philippians 4:12)? No. James does not say to feel joy (or happiness). Instead, he says to “count it all joy,” or some translations say, “consider” or “reckon,” because we must choose to view trials in the opposite way they make us feel. Trials cause us sorrow and sadness; therefore, we must “count” or choose to view them with joy because we know God will produce good from them.

The Greek word for “count” is hēgeomai, meaning “to lead, command, have authority over. Here are a few examples:

• “Bethlehem…out of you shall come a Ruler (hēgeomai) Who will shepherd My people Israel” (Matthew 2:6).
• “[Pharaoh] made [Moses] governor (hēgeomai) over Egypt” (Acts 7:10).
• “Obey those who rule (hēgeomai) over you, and be submissive, for they watch out for your souls” (Hebrews 13:17).

We cannot control our trials, but by God’s grace, we can control how we respond to them. We can rule or govern them by choosing to be content.
