Something that matters to you just isn't right. We have all felt it: an overwhelming sense of irritation or anger that impacts how we talk to those we live and work with, complaining,and maybe even a settled bitterness to others. We know anger affects us negatively, but we don't know any other way to respond when life goes wrong.
In this book, David Powlison shows that anger is more than a problem to solve. It is our complex human response to things we perceive as wrong - thus we must learn how to fruitfully and honestly deal with it. Powlison undertakes an in-depth exploration of the roots of anger, moral judgment, and righteous response by looking in a surprising place: God's own anger.
"Good and Angry masterfully captures the way every last one of us needs our anger redeemed and brims with practical wisdom to help that happen. This book moves far beyond anger management, consistently reorienting us to God's redemptive purposes for anger against real wrongs, while unveiling the lies that fuel destructive rage and cold-hearted grumbling."?
