The Heart of Anger (Paperback)

~ (Author), John Mac Arthur (Author), Jay E. Adams (Author)

Editorial Reviews

Product Description

Does your children ever speak to you in angry, disrespectful tones? Christian families, especially those in which children are home for most of the day, especially episodes of frustration and anger. This new book deals with anger's root causes, offering corrective advice from a biblical perspective. Pastor and radio teacher, John MacArthur, Jr. has said, "This book goes beyond the external manifestations of anger and deals with the internal source - the thoughts and intents of the heart. I know of no other book that addresses this problem with such practical and applicable biblical wisdom."

About the Author

Lou Priolo's other books include The Heart of Anger, The Heart of Anger Workbook, The Complete Husband and Losing That Lovin Feeling.

Most Helpful Customer Reviews 81 of 83 people found the following review helpful: 5.0 out of 5 stars Physician/parent dealing with anger in family and practice, March 3, 2000 By  Robert C. Bowman (Omaha, NE) - See all my reviews I received the book from a good Christian mentor. I have a child with ADD and another with LD. Both are adopted. The book advises reading it once for yourself if you are dealing with anger and a second reading as you work with your children. Good advice! The child-centered anology explains the state of the nation. The book has given us a template to deal with seemingly overwhelming situations at home. The format is simple and straightforward. The scriptures and application techniques are awesome. The process is being adapted now with good result. I am buying more copies for my friends and patients. 58 of 58 people found the following review helpful: 5.0 out of 5 stars Get This Book!, February 3, 2001 By  Lora (Greenville, IN USA) - See all my reviews I have three little boys and I was concerned about some of their behaviors. Fighting, yelling, getting really mad at each other. This book answered so many questions for me it was great. He backs up everything he says with Bible verse and there are examples to help also. A lot of books hint at what could be the root of the problem but this guy lays it out in a way that is easy to understand and I have seen great improvement in my boys just in the first few days. It isn't just a book for children it is for anyone that needs to deal with an anger problem. I have felt a lot better after reading it. It heled me to see what actions I was taking that were upsetting the kids and giving them a bad example. It isn't a book that makes you feel you are a bad person. It just points out things that everybody does to some degree and just taking time to notice which things apply to you is a great help. I think everybody should get at least two of this book because it is the kind of book you want to give to a friend. If everybody read this book the world would be a better place to live in. 47 of 48 people found the following review helpful: 5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Biblical counsel for families, September 8, 1999 By A Customer I really enjoyed and learned alot from this book. I don't think there are many if any other books out there that deal with the subject of a child's heart and provoking a child to anger the Biblical way this one does. A great compliment to Tedd Tripp's Shephearding a Child's Heart. If you loved that one, you'll love this one, too!
