However, times of prosperity and abundance provide some of the strongest temptations to pull our hearts away from God. Jeremiah Burroughs was keenly aware that the riches of this world compete for our affections and challenge our contentment in Christ. Originally prepared as an appendix to The Rare Jewel of Christian Contentment, this book provides an important conclusion to Burroughs's sermon series on Philippians 4:11-12: 'I have learned in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content. I know both how to be abased, and I know how to abound: every where and in all things I am instructed both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need.'\nTable of Contents:\nIntroduction\nWhat Learning to Be Full Means\nThe Difficulty of Learning to Be Full\nThe Necessity of Learning to Be Full\nThe Excellency of Learning to Be Full\nThe Mystery of Learning to Be Full\nLessons for Learning to Be Full\nIncreasing the Guilt of Sins of Abundance\nApplications for Improving Prosperous Conditions\nConcluding Words on Contentment\n\nSeries Description\nInterest in the Puritans continues to grow, but many people find reading these giants of the faith a bit unnerving. The Puritan Treasures for Today Series seeks to overcome that barrier by presenting Puritan books that are convenient in size and unintimidating in length. Each book is carefully edited with modern readers in mind, smoothing out difficult language of a bygone era while retaining the meaning of the original authors. Books for the series are thoughtfully selected to provide some of the best counsel on important subjects that people continue to wrestle with today.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1601782322\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: HBSV.1601782322.VG\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Very Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Jeremiah Burroughs|Phillip L.
