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.

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.
Interview with the Author
- If you could invite one person to dinner, who would it be and what would you cook?
What Christian wouldn’t answer Jesus to this question? Since that’s such a common response, I will also provide my second choice: King David. He has always been one of my spiritual heroes, and preaching about him has always been a joy.
- Does writing energize or exhaust you?
Both! Writing is mentally exhausting, and sometimes emotionally and spiritually draining as I wrestle with biblical concepts. But it is also so satisfying that I feel energized when projects are completed.
- What do you like to do when you are not writing?
I don’t have much free time because we are expecting our eleventh child. Most of my time not spent pastoring is dedicated to my family. However, in my free time, I enjoy playing chess and exercising.
- What books or authors have most influenced your own writing?
John MacArthur has influenced me the most. I depend on his commentary more than others and have been blessed by his books.
- Favorite quote?
Early in my Christian life, someone pointed me to 1 Samuel 2:30, which has become my life verse. My favorite quote likely comes from this verse. God says, “Those who honor me I will honor, and those who despise me shall be lightly esteemed.” I make an effort to keep this verse in mind when making decisions.
