More About This Book

Overview

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.

Meet the Author

Dr. Charles Stanley is a New York Times bestselling author who has written more than fifty books, with sales of more than 6.5 million copies. He has been senior pastor of the First Baptist Church in Atlanta, Georgia, since 1971, and the church now has more than 15,000 members. Dr. Stanley has served two terms as president of the Southern Baptist Convention (1984-86); and his outreach ministry—In Touch—reaches nearly 1800 radio and television outlets in more than 50 languages. Dr. Stanley was inducted into the National Religious Broadcaster’s (NRB) Hall of Fame in 1988, and the Religious Heritage of America named him Clergyman of the Year in 1989, an award that recognizes pastors who strive to make Judeo-Christian principles part of America’s daily life.

    Powerful Message

    Who knew this book would be this good? I think the most powerful thing he said is how the measure of person is based on size of the thing that will anger them. Outstanding. I'd also recommend that you buy "When God Stopped Keeping Score," from Author R.A. Clark, which takes more of an intimate look at the power of forgiveness. Give it a chance to change your life.

    I love this book

    I actually purchased this as an audio book and enjoyed it. Dr. Stanley goes into full detail regarding anger and backs it up with the Bible. This book gave me a clear understanding as to why people were angry and the various types of anger. Not all anger is bad.

    WONDERFUL WONDERFUL WONDERFUL

    I HEARD DR. STANLEY ON A RADIO BROADCAST FIRST THEN DECIDED TO READ SOME OF HIS BOOKS. THERE IS NO FICTION TO HIS TEACHINGS. THEY COME STRAIGHT FROM GOD'S SOURCE...THE BIBLE. HE DOESN'T ADD OR TAKE AWAY FROM THE GOOD BOOK. VERY TRUSTWORTHY.
