An Assignment By God
Re-Imagining Contentment blends scriptural wisdom with your lived experience of chronic illness, guiding readers through a seven-step journey toward contentment defined not by worldly measures but by spiritual alignment with God’s will. Why was this an important book for you to write?
This book was an assignment by God. It was important for me to be obedient and to get it right even if it was not completed according to the timeline I set.
What were some ideas that were important for you to share in this book?
One of the most important things I wanted to share was how the transformative power of walking with God will change your perspective in life. Next, I wanted the reader to understand contentment and stop endlessly searching for something else.
What was the most challenging part of writing your book, and what was the most rewarding?
As I was writing, I was faced with several deaths in my family, including my father who passed on the day before my 50th birthday. It was also challenging trying to focus in the midst of a global pandemic. Lastly, packing and moving three times including relocating across the country presented some challenges. This was really one of those times where I was reminded of the quote, “If you want to make God laugh, tell Him your plans”.
The most rewarding part of writing the book was being able to witness my spiritual and physical growth through the scriptures and stories I told throughout the book. Being able to minister to and encourage myself heightened my spirit of expectancy for what it would do for my readers.
What is one thing that you hope readers take away from Re-Imagining Contentment?
It is my hope that I will encourage one person to realize that you can do this (No matter what your this is.) God is with you!

Re-Imagining Contentment: Living Life from God’s Perspective
ReShone L. Moore’s Re-Imagining Contentment is a heartfelt roadmap to finding peace amid life’s hardships. Blending scriptural wisdom with her lived experience of chronic illness, Moore guides readers through a seven-step journey toward contentment, defined not by worldly measures but by spiritual alignment with God’s will. From the metaphor of the Potter in Jeremiah to her own battle with multiple sclerosis, Moore illustrates how surrender, trust, and reflection are vital tools for emotional and spiritual healing.
I found Moore’s writing both intimate and grounding. She doesn’t sugarcoat the reality of pain—physical, emotional, or spiritual. Her vulnerability in the “Prologue,” where she recounts her diagnosis and the day she experienced “foot drop,” is raw and powerful. But rather than wallow, she transforms this pain into purpose. In Chapter 1, “The Potter,” she reflects on how disobedience and striving without God led her to discontent, and how returning to the Creator reframed her view. The metaphor is simple yet effective: God, as the potter, molds us, mess and all. It’s a reminder that even in brokenness, we are in divine hands.
What struck me most was Moore’s pushback against the notion that contentment equals complacency. Her step-by-step breakdown, especially in chapters like “Step #1 – Reflect” and “Step #2 – Reject,” teaches that being content doesn’t mean giving up dreams—it means releasing the burden of control. She writes about surrender not as defeat, but as “a position of power and peace.” Her honesty when describing letting go of her beloved high heels—a small but symbolic act—was strangely emotional for me. I saw in that moment the thousands of compromises we all make with grief, and how dignity can survive change.
Chapter 7, Concluding with a Plan (Repeat When Needed), brings the journey full circle by reinforcing the idea that contentment isn’t a destination—it’s a continual process. Dr. Moore reminds readers that the seven steps outlined in the book are not one-time fixes but tools to be revisited as life unfolds. She encourages becoming a “lifelong learner,” emphasizing the importance of spiritual growth, reflection, and renewal. This chapter feels like a gentle nudge to stay the course, no matter how many times we stumble.
I’d recommend this book to anyone struggling with transition, loss, or burnout, particularly those whose faith is part of their healing journey. It’s not a self-help book in the traditional sense; it’s more like a long, healing letter from someone who’s been through it and found the light anyway. Moore writes with soul, spirit, and strength. Her journey through MS becomes a ministry of encouragement for the rest of us. This book helped me breathe deeper, think wider, and pray more honestly.
