Anger

"Thirty-five-plus years of counseling leads me to this statistical conclusion: approximately one out of one people struggle with anger." Anger is arguably the most common problematic emotion people feel. It is prevalent in every culture and experienced by every generation. No one is isolated from its presence or immune from its poison. The good news is that God has given us the Bible--a book that has much to say about anger and how to deal with it. In this thirty-one-day devotional, biblical counselor Robert Jones guides you through Scripture's teaching on anger: what it is, how to overcome it, and what behaviors to put in its place. Reflection questions and practical action steps for each reading help you to apply God's Word to your life. Try spending ten or fifteen minutes each day with this book, and see the difference it makes in calming your heart, reconciling with others, and growing in patience, contentment, and grace.

Anger is one of the most universal signs of humanity's basic sinfulness. From the moment that murderous anger moved Cain to kill his own brother, anger has been one of the most seductive of sins, crouching ever at the door. In this new book, Robert Jones offers genuine biblical counsel on the sin of anger. Every Christian needs to read this book and heed its counsel. There is no remedy for anger--or for any sin--other than the gospel of Jesus Christ. There is no counsel that is sufficient for our right understanding of sin except Holy Scripture. Thankfully, this book is rich in both gospel and Scripture.--R. Albert Mohler Jr., President, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, Louisville, Kentucky
I am often discouraged when I look at how frequently I get angry. In Anger: Calming Your Heart, it seems like Bob knew my discouragement and came to help me take one baby step away from anger at a time, all the while cheering me on. Let him cheer you on, as well, and move from discouragement to rejoicing as you see anger's grip begin to slip and your joy begin to increase.--Amy Baker, Ministry Resource Director, Faith Church, Lafayette, Indiana; Author, Picture Perfect
Intensely practical and deeply biblical, Anger: Calming Your Heart is a book that will encourage every Christian, whether or not their particular struggle is with anger. Robert Jones writes with a theologian's clarity and a pastor's heart as he leads the reader on a 31-day journey of confronting sinful anger with the truths of the gospel. This is not just a self-help book, nor is it merely a handbook on how to "manage" a particular sin. It is, above all, a celebration of and meditation on the salvation that Jesus has won for us and our glorious new identity in him.--Greg Gilbert, Author, What is the Gospel? and Who is Jesus?; Senior Pastor, Third Avenue Baptist Church, Louisville, Kentucky
This devotional gets right to the point. It takes Scripture passages that you might already know and opens them so that you see more and are drawn right in. Robert writes in a way that makes something from each reading stick.--Ed Welch, Counselor and Faculty Member, Christian Counseling and Educational Foundation; Author, When People Are Big and God Is Small
