Satisfied : discovering contentment in a world of consumption / Jeff Manion.

Why is a contented, satisfied life so evasive? What deep hungers drive reckless purchasing habits, out of control accumulation, and crazy consumer lifestyle for so many people? And why are people often driven more by what their neighbors own than what will truly make them happy?Satisfied is for those drowning in debt, as well as those getting farther and farther ahead financially. It is for those who are crippled by comparison. Whose frame of reference is shaped by what they lack, rather than the blessings they possess. It is for those who have forgotten who they are, and mistakenly equate their self-worth with their net worth. It is for those with full closets and empty souls. In Satisfied, popular communicator and pastor Jeff Manion provides an inspiring and transformative vision for living a deeply contented life in the midst of a consumer-driven, materialistic, and often shallow culture. Satisfied draws richly from six passages of scripture, exploring the way in which these messages were received by the original readers and how these passages can alter people's views of wealth, accumulation, and ultimate contentment.
