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.'\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTable of Contents:\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003eWhat Learning to Be Full Means\u003cbr\u003eThe Difficulty of Learning to Be Full\u003cbr\u003eThe Necessity of Learning to Be Full\u003cbr\u003eThe Excellency of Learning to Be Full\u003cbr\u003eThe Mystery of Learning to Be Full\u003cbr\u003eLessons for Learning to Be Full\u003cbr\u003eIncreasing the Guilt of Sins of Abundance\u003cbr\u003eApplications for Improving Prosperous Conditions\u003cbr\u003eConcluding Words on Contentment\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSeries Description\u003cbr\u003eInterest in the Puritans continues to grow, but many people find reading these giants of the faith a bit unnerving.
