Book: Being Content God’s Way and the Being Content God’s Way Workbook
Author: Scott LaPierre
Genre: Christian Nonfiction
Release date: May 21, 2024
Philippians 4:12 reveals a profound truth: there is a “secret to learning contentment.” As Paul declares in the next verse, the secret is the strength Christ provides: “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” Just as a tree’s unseen root system gathers vital resources for the tree, the unseen part of contentment is being “rooted and built up in Christ” (Colossians 2:7).
With Being Content God’s Way, you will…
- learn to “be content with what you have” (Hebrews 13:5)
- enjoy personal stories and application to daily life
- be equipped to put off covetousness (Colossians 3:5)
- receive biblical answers to common questions
- discover why “godliness with contentment is great gain” (1 Timothy 6:6-10)
Contentment is not an elusive concept. Instead, it is a tangible reality within our reach through a relationship with Christ.

About the Workbook
The perfect companion to Being Content God’s Way!
James 1:22 says, “Be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.” A common mistake with God’s Word is believing we have done enough by learning without applying. Our responsibility goes much further than simply obtaining information.
This 13-week in-depth Bible study will reinforce the teachings from the book so you can be not just a hearer (or reader) but a doer (or obey-er). You will be given the tools to apply the reading and cement the teachings in your heart.
Inside, you will find:
- Helpful guidelines for deepening your relationship with Christ
- Thoughtful questions for self-reflection
- Insightful observations to help you grow spiritually
The workbook is a 3-month study to help you become rooted and built up in Christ. This great tool is perfect for individual use or group study.

"Being Content God’s Way and the Being Content God’s Way Workbook" by Scott LaPierre is two great resources to help Christians overcome coveting and covetousness. The author says Our discontent is not because of external stuff but because of our lack of trust in God. He shares lots of Biblical passages and states that covetousness is a heart issue and reveals a weakness in our relationship with God. I have never thought of it before, but when the author shares the practice of putting off and putting on, it makes perfect sense. This practice is you not only give up the sin you replace it with a something healthy. The author uses these 2 examples as well as other to explain it (You stopped yelling at your kids, but what did you start saying to them and you stopped watching things you should not, but did you start reading your Bible more. The author thoroughly gives sound reason and examples (Biblical verses and other sources) for the things he writes. One reason I like this author's books is because they are easily read and understood. Sometimes book that are nonfiction and want to teach us something is technically written, but not this author's books. I think this is a book all Christian should read at least once if not more than once.
I haven't done the workbook study yet but am planning on starting it soon, in fact I am really pretty excited about starting it.
I received a complimentary copy from the author and Celebrate Lit and these opinions are my own.

More from Scott
We all want to be content, but should you trust what I, Scott LaPierre, have to say about this topic? Yes, for these three reasons…
First and foremost, I am not asking you to trust me but God. My book is not simply a collection of my thoughts and opinions but God’s words revealed in Scripture, which is why the book is filled with so many verses. God knows how we can be content and overcome covetousness. I want readers to understand what He says about these topics.
Second, I have preached extensively on contentment and covetousness to the church I serve. The sermons involved hundreds of hours of Bible study, which I used to write Being Content God’s Way.
Third, much of the counseling I perform is related to contentment and covetousness. When couples come for marriage counseling, they want to see their spouse change. More often, I help them be content with each other. When people have financial problems, I help them overcome covetousness to be better savers and givers. In other words, I have experience assisting people to become content.
I poured my heart into the book and workbook because I am passionate about this area of Scripture and life. I am convinced that applying the biblical principles can change your life.
