<transcy> The Art of Divine Contentment (Le contentement est un don de Dieu)</transcy>
Presentation
Happiness is not automatic for men, not even for Christians, and many are confused. Happiness does not seem real and fades as soon as you think you have caught it. Life here is guaranteed with its vicissitudes!
I don't have a job, my kids are going bad, I'm worth nothing, etc.
Well, Christians, take heart! Happiness was not automatic for the apostle Paul either. He had to learn to be happy with his condition.
Thomas Watson examines this saying, and shows what is the nature of this true happiness, how to get and keep it, where to draw it, how to avoid pitfalls and counterfeits.
These very pastoral pages answer a multitude of questions that everyone is asking.
