William Barcley atinge o cerne da questão do descontentamento neste livro - o descontentamento tem suas raízes no coração. Baseado nos escritos de Jeremiah Burroughs e Thomas Watson, ele faz uma nova abordagem às meditações sobre contentamento desses grandes Puritanos para o público contemporâneo. Acima de tudo, faz uso da sabedoria do apóstolo Paulo, que declarou ter encontrado o "mistério" ou o "segredo" de estar contente.
William Barclay was an author, radio and television presenter, Church of Scotland minister and Professor of Divinity and Biblical Criticism at the University of Glasgow.
While professor, he decided to dedicate his life to "making the best biblical scholarship available to the average reader". The eventual result was the Daily Study Bible, a set of 17 commentaries on the New Testament, published by Saint Andrew Press, the Church of Scotland's publishing house.
The 17 volumes of the set were all best-sellers and continue to be so to this day. Barclay wrote many other popular books, always drawing on scholarship but written in a highly accessible style.
