Anger! is a problem in every human life, and can be an acute sin for Christians. In this concise but complete analysis, we see both righteous and sinful anger explained. All Christians must know the we must cultivate the one biblically, and mortify the other in order to avoid sinning against our holy God. The cause of sinful anger is carefully pride in rebelling against God’s rule in our lives—as revealed in His daily providences that block our expectations. The text spotlights step-by-step biblical solutions, leading to a true, trustworthy, and lasting victory that does not mask the symptoms, but destroys sinful anger at its root. The reader can look forward to hope, greater faith, and a more consistent walk with the Lord Jesus Christ.
I learned about righteous anger and sinful anger. I learned about submission to God’s providential dealings, and also how to deal with and resolve sinful anger.
The most comforting takeaway from this book is that anger is a gift from God as a symptom of something being wrong, just like pain. I have never thought of anger this way, and it is sort of freeing. There are prayers at the end of each section and they’re such comforting prayers. Thank you Chapel Library for printing and shipping such wonderful books for free.
A Chapel Library book. Good sound principles on the differences between righteous anger and unrighteous anger; and how to deal with anger in ourselves and anger in others.
I’ve recommended this book to many but I just finished it and found the last section on habitual anger to be a bit concerning…specifically number 3. We can’t tiptoe around angry people allowing them to have their way for the sake of peace…especially in the church. The issue needs to be addressed and church discipline should be enacted. From what I hear he better explains it in the book Controlling Your Anger Before it Controls You.
