Description
Written in a popular style, here is a book that challenges misconceptions about anger that have followed Christians down through the centuries. From the findings of psychologists and sociologists, as well as the teachings of Christianity, Andrew Lester uncovers a basic truth: anger occurs when you, or those important to you, are threatened.
Lester looks at the biblical teaching about anger, focusing on the destructiveness--the dark side of anger--and the creativity that results from appropriate anger. He shows why anger must be faced, how it can best be handled, and when it is time to get help.
