This book is finally a real help when dealing with anger. The author gives you steps on how to prevent your anger and deal with past anger in a Christian manner. He gives examples of mishandled anger, Biblical principles about anger, and how to handle anger in a Christlike way. I highly recommend this book!

5.0 out of 5 stars Anger in all its many forms!, October 10, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Overcoming Hurts And Anger: Finding Freedom from Negative Emotions (Paperback)

This book had a dramatic impact on my life... and also on my husband. Even though we both handle anger VERY differently, we both found extremely helpful information here. Dr. Carlson effectively demonstrates how anger has many faces and expresses itself in many different ways. Most importantly, he explains so clearly how anger is really an expression of either hurt or fear, and gives examples of healthier ways to express the fear or hurt so we don't feel driven to turn it in on ourselves or outward against others.

I HIGHLY recommend this book if you feel overwhelmed (or even underwhelmed) with hurts or anger in your life.

This review is from: Overcoming Hurts And Anger: Finding Freedom from Negative Emotions (Paperback)

I had a real problem with self-control and anger. Being a Christian, I knew this was not right and self-control is a fruit of the spirit. A friend took me to our local Christian book store and this book just jumped out at me! Once I started reading it, I could feel the change taking place within. This book helped me to pinpoint the root of the anger and deal with it! Now my husband is enjoying the book as well. Please buy this book for you or a friend or loved one, you won't be disappointed!
