Format: Paperback
David Powlison thinks you have an anger problem, and a serious one at that. It is not because he knows you personally, but because he is one who has long studied the fallen heart. But he is also convinced that your anger does not have to be a problem and this book is intended to help redirect so that we can be both good and angry.
Anger, as Powlison who is the executive directory of CCEF, defines it, is a sense of opposition to something that is both important and wrong. That means it is a moral response. As those who are created in the image of God we all have come wired for the capacity to express anger. But, as Powlison carefully shows, we have a problem. Our anger is misdirected and misguided because of sin. Not only in the little daily frustrations and irritations, but also in extremely destructive ways. The goal, according to Powlison, is not to eliminate anger, but to have it remade into the image of God by the grace of the gospel. Far from being a therapeutic self-help book, his concern is that we come to understand how anger can coexist with forgiveness, patience, charity, and constructive displeasure.
This book should prove to be an excellent resource. However, if you pick it up with the intention to help someone else—your husband, wife, child, friend, or congregant—be prepared to confront the reality of your own anger first. Powlison has a wonderful way of acutely diagnosing anger as a personal problem for all, even those who do not consider themselves angry. A couple of highlights would be his detailed examination of God's wrath showing readers why it is actually because of God's wrath that we have hope. His chapters dealing with every day anger, long-held bitterness, and anger against God also flow from a counselor's heart as he addresses difficult and awful painful truths.

Good Christian Perspective on Anger
Format: Paperback
I read this book over the course of three months; it was not hard to get through but other books had to be read first because of library due dates and without intent, it kept getting pushed lower on my priority read list. I finally got back to it earlier this week and finished up the remaining chapters. After reading it, I have a better understanding of anger through a Christian perspective. Author David Powlinson is a counselor so he brings with him expertise in working with people who have suffered bad things. Unlike some counselors who give guidance without the Scripture, Powlinson incorporates God and His love in each chapter since God is the ultimate source of freeing us from the burden of anger and the other emotions that accompany anger. The book is broken down into four sections: Our Experience, What is Anger?, How to Change, and Tackling the Hard Cases.
Everyone is plagued by anger of different intensities and gets angry for different reasons and everyone deals with it in different ways, yet we are all the same in that we need to face our anger and seek God’s guidance so we may handle our anger in a constructive and positive way that glorifies Him. That is why I recommend this book to everyone, especially those who may be going through a hardship in life that makes them angry. I did not agree with everything Powlinson said or may not have understood where he was coming from on some things, but I still think he did a great job writing a book on a massive and complicated subject.

I can’t say a single thing I felt missing from this book and can go on and on about what was included that I didn’t expect and found greatly helpful.

❤️❤️❤️
Format: Kindle
This is an almost surgical approach to anger. I’ve never read anything like it. Part of me says of course there’s a counseling approach to anger. But another part of me says I had no idea that anger could be dissected with such precision. There is a ton of great theology. There is also clear practical application. In my estimation, it is a very balanced presentation of anger. It was a slightly difficult read, but only because I wanted to process it well, and consider how I might apply it to my own life.
