Summary

The Rare Jewel of Christian Contentment by Jeremiah Burroughs is a classic work featuring clear and simple instructions on how to be content as a Christian. Burroughs will teach you that contentment lies in subtraction, not addition; that the workings of Christianity are nothing like what you thought them to be; and that once you have learned the way from Christ's word, you will be able to attain contentment as you never before imagined.

still immensely relevant

Well read, no confusion as to what it meant then, and what it means now. The length of it is immaterial as each part can be listened to separately.

To learn, to live and practice.

Excellent book, this was well read, and is applicable to todays Christian. Recommended as an exposition of a practical life skill for today.

Timeless

As applicable today as it was in the 17th century. A must read in these uncertain times.

Deep content

This book contains a lot of deep thoughts about obtaining a life on God. Much of this goes over the head when not being 100% present with it.
Amazing book. Really glad I stumbled upon it.
