Anger! Is it ever a problem in your home?

Do your children ever speak to you in angry, disrespectful tones? Or do they fight between themselves? Have you ever lost your patience when dealing with an infuriating situation? If you honestly answered “yes” to any of those questions, you could use this book. Of course, Christian families experience episodes of frustration and anger. Here’s a book that goes beyond the external manifestations of anger and deals with the internal source: the thoughts and intentions of the heart.

Book Reviews

“I know of no other book that addresses this problem with such practical and applicable Biblical wisdom.” — Dr. John MacArthur, Jr., Senior Pastor, Grace Community Church, Sun Valley, CA –Grace & Truth Books

“An extremely readable and practical book about a problem frequently encountered but too rarely addressed. There is nothing else like it. Counselors will want their own copy as well as others to give away. Pastors will put it in their libraries. Parents will devour it! Christian children will benefit from it. It is a book whose time has come.” — Dr. Jay Adams, Founder of NANC and author of many books on Nouthetic Counseling –Grace & Truth Books
