CATCHING CONTENTMENT: A SIX SESSION BIBLE STUDY COURSE<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

HOW CAN I FIND REST FOR MY SOUL WHEN LIFE HURTS?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What’s stopping you enjoying contentment? Illness, financial worries, a difficult relationship, social media?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If only things were different.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Catching Contentment – A Six Session Bible Study Course<\/em> explores a contentment that is not beyond your grasp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This group study guide is designed to be used alongside Catching Contentment: How to be Holy Satisfied<\/em> by Liz Carter (IVP, 2018)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Session One – What is contentment?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Session Two – Confident Contentment<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Session Three – Courageous Contentment<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Session Four – Captivated Contentment<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Session Five – Contagious Contentment<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Session Six – Holy Satisfied<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Praise for Catching Contentment<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the best book I’ve read in the last five years! It’s honest and real and full of truth, but truth that builds up and encourages – JENNIFER REES LARCOMBE<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I found empathy, hope and spiritual sustenance. Biblically anchored, persuasively written theology… a must-read for any Christian who wrestles with a nagging desire for something more. – TANYA MARLOW<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Here is a book that courageously digs deep to help us find lasting contentment. This is not a book of platitudes or theories. – WENDY VIRGO<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This six week Bible study course based on Catching Contentment is suitable for groups and individuals. You can purchase it here on Amazon, in paperback and Kindle editions.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It takes some of the material from the book and passages from Scripture to help us reflect on what it means to be contented when life doesn’t quite work out how we’d expect or hope.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I can\u2019t recommend the book and the study guide highly enough, both are absolute must reads! I personally found the book life changing.” – Ali Grafham<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
