Description

"This book shows how Christians can be good and be angry at the same time. That's possible if we let the Holy Spirit strengthen us to get angry for the right reasons and to keep anger under control. If we are seeking a secret that will simply eliminate anger, we're pursuing a vain hope. Anger will surely be with us until we die. It may even go with us to heaven, where the Lord may allow us to share his anger at the evils that afflict his creation. But we can learn to increase good anger and to minimize the bad. That's the Christian approach summed up by Paul when he admonished the Ephesians to "Be angry, but do not sin" (Eph 4:26). If used constructively, anger can even help us live a more Christian life. This is not a psychology or self-help book. It presents a Bible-based strategy for caring for and disciplining a valuable emotion. It describes a method that helps us use anger successfully to overcome the obstacles strewn across the path of our Christian journey. The book contains questions for discussion, personal reflection and application which make it ideal for either individual or group use." -- Amazon.com.… (more)

Local notes

"As both mainstream and Christian culture become more polarized and an 'age of anger' becomes commonplace, 'The Angry
Christian' meets a desperate need. Not self-help or psychology, this book looks to the Bible for answers. It turns out that Christians can be good and angry at the same time. Ghezzi demonstrates with personal anecdote and biblical teaching how a Christian can learn to be angry and spiritually healthy at the same time. You need to learn to allow the Holy Spirit to strengthen you to get angry for the right reasons, and to keep your anger under control." Study Questions
