Publisher's Description
The Counter-Cultural Move from Accumulation to Abundance Why is it so hard to find the contented, satisfied life? What deep hungers drive our purchasing habits, accumulation, and consumer lifestyle? Satisfied is for those drowning in debt, but also those getting farther and farther ahead financially. It is for those who have forgotten who they are and mistakenly equate their self-worth with their net worth. It is for those who are crippled by comparison. It is for those with full closets and empty souls. Satisfied provides an inspiring and transformative vision for living a deeply contented life in our consumer-driven culture. "Jeff Manion's voice is such a wise, clear, helpful voice, and I'm so thankful for the timely and challenging invitation he's issued in these pages. I'm inspired to live more richly with fewer things, and to pursue gratitude and generosity with more intention." - Shauna Niequist, author of Bread and Wine

“Satisfied is an invitation to be free . . . to shake off the stuff that smothers us and live like the lilies and the sparrows. A thoughtful reminder to share the stuff we own before it owns us, and to get money out of our hands before it makes its way into our hearts. It is a call to laugh at the lie of our culture that tells us happiness has a price tag.”
“Jeff Manion’s voice is such a wise, clear, helpful voice, and I’m so thankful for the timely and challenging invitation he has issued in these pages. I’m inspired to live more richly with fewer things, and to pursue gratitude and generosity with more intention.”
“some should be chewed on slowly and digested fully. This book falls into the third category. As you savor this book, God will speak deeply and transform your life in surprising ways.”
“Comparison kills contentment. But when is enough, enough? In Satisfied, Jeff Manion shows how having less is a gift that leads to freedom.”
“My friend Jeff Manion is offering Satisfied to everyone who struggles with the angst of joy. As joy gushes, they wonder at their ongoing discontent. “Is it OK to be happy if others aren’t? Should I get used to this? Will I lose this joy if I share it? How do I find more of this; does it come from what happens ‘in’ me, or ‘to’ me?” Manion’s winsome style makes Satisfied more than a great read and a phenomenal Small Group resource; it helps people take steps into a satisfied and joy-filled life.”
Dr. Mark Beeson

“freedom, and joy in their financial lives. Jeff Manion’s outstanding book Satified will help you learn how to do just that. It offers engaging and practical insights that are life changing because they are based on God’s word. I heartily recommend it!”
“Jeff is a master storyteller, and you will see yourself on every page. Get Satisfied and get contentment, God’s way!”
