Editorial Reviews

Scriptural, practical, and comprehensive. Jones correctly identifies the root cause of anger as the human heart, and shows that its cure is the grace of God. This book is excellently written, wonderfully illustrated, and helpfully documented.

Two things are hard to do with anger: face the fact that you have a problem with it and be hopeful as you do. This book will help you do both. Jones shows that the Bible is both shockingly honest about anger’s cause and wonderfully encouraging about its cure.

Paul David Tripp

Far and away the best material on anger I have read, thoroughly biblical and immensely practical. Jones does a masterful job of helping us identify anger in our lives, then gives us biblical steps for uprooting it. Every Christian ought to prayerfully read this book and apply its teaching.

Jerry Bridges

From road rage to subterranean simmering, anger is a significant problem in many Christians’ lives. Jones brings counseling experience, a knowledge of his own heart, and the riches of the gospel to believers who seek to walk more worthily in the Lord. In Uprooting Anger you’ll find practical help as well as theological depth.

Elyse Fitzpatrick

Most of us find it all too easy to use words like hurt, frustrated, and troubled to conceal the fact that we are often controlled by sinful anger. This book cuts through this disguise, exposes our bondage to anger, and marks a clear path to peace and freedom.

Ken Sande

Scriptural, practical, and comprehensive. Jones correctly identifies the root cause of anger as the human heart, and shows that its cure is the grace of God. This book is excellently written, wonderfully illustrated, and helpfully documented.
