Christian contentment is that sweet, inward, quiet, gracious frame of spirit, which freely submits to and delights in God’s wise and fatherly disposal in every condition.

So glad you’re reading this. A great book, and one of the few where even the title convicts and teaches!! I know my favourite Puritan is always Flavel, but can’t decide who is no.2 at times Burroughs is certainly up there!
Hi Adrian – indeed a great title! Am enjoying Burroughs – Flavel is another fine fellow too – and of course Bunyan.
I find Bunyan ultimately rewarding, but very, very hard work
