Improving on Prosperity: A Supplement to the Rare Jewel of Christian Contentment

Many a person achieves prosperity but hardly knows what to do with it. Is wealth enough? What now? In the 1640’s Puritan preacher Jeremiah Burroughs knew how to improve on prosperity. Wealth is not evil, he taught, but is certainly dangerous to you and others unless you know how to handle it.
Whether you are well-off or wish to be, insights from the 17th century may give you the answers you need in the 21st; and this modernized text provides easier reading if you do not want to struggle with the original wording.

This book also includes Burroughs’ discourses on "Christian Submission" and on "Christ a Christian’s Life, and Death His Gain."

“If I were to write a book on how to stay afloat financially, it would be welcome, and if how to rake in riches, I have no doubt that it would be a bestseller…. But I am teaching you a lesson as if from God rather than man, and it is a better lesson.”
