Synopsis

The premise of this book is that learning to let go of anger—and ultimately forgiving the offender—will transform the foundation of every kind of relationship we have. Stanley defines anger as "a strong feeling of intense displeasure, hostility, or indignation as a result of a real or an imagined threat or insult, frustration, or injustice toward yourself or towards someone who’s very important to you." Building on this defintion, Stanley...

1. Helps readers identify the signs of anger, so they can identify anger in themselves.  

2. Reveals the far-reaching consequences of anger, which encompass the spiritual, emotional, and physical. 

3. Teaches readers how to handle anger through thirteen concrete steps.

4. Walks readers through the steps to true forgiveness and the healing power it brings.

With compassion and a wealth of biblical understanding, Stanley explains that the measure of a person is "the size of thing that makes them angry." He goes on to distinguish between healthy and harmful anger and reminds us that "righteous indignation" is a divine emotion. However, he skillfully explains that misguided anger eats away at ourselves, our relationships with others, and our relationship with God. By helping readers look honestly at the source of their anger, he gently leads them to the ability to truly forgive and find the peace they seek.

Goodreads review by Christine on March 11, 2022

Not what I was expecting from this book, and I truthfully had a hard time getting into it. I thought it was going to be about dealing with the stressors of the outside world. It was, however, an insightful book on the different sources and types of anger. If that is the topic you are looking for, th......more

Goodreads review by Chris on August 10, 2014

This book seems to be aimed primarily at people who don't have much experience with the Bible, as a lot of its information and advice is fairly remedial, though it does contain occasional snippets of wisdom that I'd not heard elsewhere. Not a great book, but not a waste of time either.......more

Goodreads review by John on July 27, 2018

Anger is a emotion that many feel, for many reasons and can affect many people if not treated. Charles F. Stanley goes deep into the issue in a biblical way to help us tackle it. Sometimes he is very blunt but most of the times there is more explaining to things with insight and care. This is a grea......more

Goodreads review by Brent on September 27, 2020

I enjoy Charles Stanley books and this is a good read with the anger that you see in our world today. I also enjoy how Stanley weaves in his personal experiences with those he has counseled or even his own situations over the years with Bible verses setting out how to face your own anger or someone......more
