Publisher's summary

How should Christians understand anger, evaluate it, and respond for good?

We all struggle with anger at times: Our plans suddenly fall through, we lose a prized possession, or our reputation is called into question. More often than not, when anger knocks at the doors of our hearts, we easily allow it to take over. But what if getting to the heart of our anger also reveals the way to transform it?

Christopher Ash and Steve Midgley address this question by bringing to bear what the whole Bible has to say about sinful anger — revealing that anger is the sinful response when something we value more than God is taken away or threatened. They reflect on biblical portraits of human anger, God’s righteous anger, and how only the gospel of Jesus Christ brings true freedom — transforming a heart of anger into a heart filled with the love of God.

Mortifying the sin of Anger

This book has been a blessing from God to workout the sinfulness of the sin of Anger. Truly identifying all the ways in which it manifests. Thank you for this Gift, and may He be glorified by the mortification of the sin of anger, which can only happen by His strength and prompting.

Biblical, Practical, Helpful

i found this beneficial to addressing root, heart issues behind my own anger from a Biblical world view that the roots of anger (expectations and desires in the heart, not the provocation). It focuses on the need for the gospel to change our desires and focus. If one wants to learn anger management techniques like venting to a friend, centering your breathing, or exercising, this is not the book for you.

Long and drawn out

This audiobook is probably good if you read if instead of listen. The narrator can make or break a book. This narrator is No Bueno!
