Publisher's summary

Based on Philippians 4:11, I have learned, in whatever state I am therewith to be content, Watson considers the great dishonor done to almighty God by the sin of discontent. The doctrine of Christian contentment is clearly illustrated and profitably applied. The special cases where, through changes in providences, discontentment most commonly arises are examined and preservatives are applied to the soul.

There is so much heart healing in this book. What else can be said?

Soul Medicine

If you think God is dealing hard with you by giving you afflictions, read this book!. Things are not going your way? Read this book.
If you have a rebellious hart and murmur against the Lord? Read this book!

I am amazed how learned this man was, no university can teach this, only the Holy Ghost.

It helped me a lot, I have learned a lot.

Its a jewel from the times past.

A must read for every Christian.

A remarkable audiobook

What made the experience of listening to The Art of Divine Contentment the most enjoyable?

This very old book contains depth of insight that eludes most modern writers. The reader does an excellent job of translating the content to audio. I would strongly encourage people to give this a listen.

Every Christian Needs to Read

True devotion and piety today is lacking in Christianity. Many think they are able to acquire the title but neglect the life. This world offers nothing but various grounds in which to sow seed. It is worth it to loose all and gain Christ. In doing so the call for us is to holiness. May we see the urgency and earnestness required of us by our Master. This contentment is truly a holy frame in which this life grows dim and heavens glories shine brightest.
