Ligonier Ministries Recommends Resources on Cultivating Biblical Contentment

Ligonier Ministries has released a curated list of resources designed to help believers combat discontentment and foster a spirit of gratitude throughout the year. The editorial team notes that while society often encourages covetousness, Christians are called to find renewal through God’s Word and the Holy Spirit to maintain a godly perspective in a fallen world.

The recommended materials include Melissa Kruger’s teaching series, which emphasizes resting in the work of Christ, and Erik Raymond’s book, which explores how believers can learn contentment by trusting God in all circumstances, drawing on the Apostle Paul’s experience in Philippians 4:11–13. Additionally, the list features classic and modern Puritan-inspired works, such as Thomas Watson’s exposition of Philippians 4:11 in "The Art of Divine Contentment" and William Barcley’s adaptation of writings by Jeremiah Burroughs and Thomas Watson. These resources provide practical instruction on maintaining contentment during times of affliction and aligning one's heart with the image of Christ.
