There are relatively few who can withstand the temptation to depart from God,or live independent of Him(riches and abundance provide much fuel for these things).Mr.Burroughs gives us some rationale as to why it is so difficult to be both rich in this worlds goods and rich in God-p.43 "Not many rich,not many mighty,not many great ones.Why?Because they have so many material goods to feed their lusts that their lusts grow to strong,these lusts become so strong that they resist the Word...".The apostle Paul had learned to be content in whatever state he was in-p.5"when Paul says 'I know ...how to be abased' he means that he has learned to submit to suffering in a humble manner". Suffering without purpose or understanding is unbearable but to understand God's purpose in ordaining the suffering(to accomplish His will)makes one willing to suffer and endure anything for Christ's sake and the glory of God.The apostle Paul's life gives us an extraordinary example in this regard.The one who had inflicted much pain and caused much suffering for God's people before his conversion,would then go on to suffer much to help establish the Church and greatly advance the cause of Christ in his generation.In chapter two the author gives us the proper perspective that a godly individual should have, toward God relative to created things-p.27 "It is not the created things themselves that satisfy such a man,but God in them.Created things are simply the channel that lets God into their hearts." This is simply to love 'the giver of the things' more than the things which have been given.I'm convinced that many will not see the need of instruction as to how to avoid the pitfalls that can come with a prosperous state(though they are easily convinced of their need to look to God in times of great want or affliction).Jeremiah Burroughs reasoning is Biblically sound and very persuasive and will prove a great preservative,to those who are rich in this world's goods,if they are willing to heed his counsel. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ GREAT BOOK *by M***O on Reviewed in the United States on June 8, 2020* It's a Christian challenge to mange wealth. Everyone wants to be rich, but few can actually use their wealth for God's glory. Excellent book. Would buy it for a gift. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Four Stars *by R***N on Reviewed in the United States on December 29, 2016* Deep read --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/14881071-contentment-prosperity-and-gods-glory-puritan-treasures-for-today](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/14881071-contentment-prosperity-and-gods-glory-puritan-treasures-for-today) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-06-01*
