But you will object: What you speak of is very good, if we could attain to it; but is it possible for anyone to attain to this? It is possible if you get skill in the art of it; you may attain to it, and it will prove to be not such a difficult thing either, if you but understand the mystery of it. There are many things that men do in their callings, that if a countryman comes and sees, he thinks it a mighty hard thing, and that he should never be able to do it. But that is because he does not understand the art of it; there is a twist of the hand by which you may do it with ease. Now that is the business of this book, to open to you the art and mystery of contentment.
I hope you find time to read the book.

I have this book. I've been wanting to read it.
I've only skimmed it, and I want to read it. All in good time. I am working through finishing The Mystery of Providence by John Flavel. And after that, I am going to likely tear into Machen's Christianity and Liberalism if I don't set aside Flavel prematurely to do so...
