5.0 out of 5 stars A staple for counseling on anger, July 24, 2006

This review is from: Uprooting Anger: Biblical Help for a Common Problem (Paperback)

Uprooting Anger by Robert D. Jones is an absolute treasure, thoroughly biblical, extremely practical, and well written. Jones tackles a problem--sin--with which every believer must deal and, rather than offer some psychological mumble-jumble, takes the reader directly to the Word of God. The issue of anger is framed and handled as the Holy Spirit intended. As a result, the reader is given biblical instruction and hope.

Uprooting Anger would be helpful for any individual struggling with anger, and who does not at times? It is also highly valuable for use in counseling and as a Bible study. I intend to make use of this volume in all three ways.

I would offer two caveats of a minor nature. First, used as a counseling tool it would take some guidance by the counselor. Just handing this book to most Christians might result in overload. Breaking it down into bite-sized portions will be needed in most cases. Secondly, I would have appreciated a little more insight into dealing with instances in which a person has harmed others unintentionally. For example, an accident in which an individual's negligence takes the life of a small child. Jones addresses this to an extent in Chapter 8, "Anger Against Yourself," but I could have used more.

This is a book that will be used in my life and ministry for years to come. "Appendix A," which offers a number of worksheet assignments, will become a regular staple in my counseling on anger. - Gary Gilley, Christian Book Previews.com

This is a great book for those who suffer under the malady of an angry spirit or temperament. The book will, most likely, speak to those who have faith in the God of Scripture. It is a timely and valuable alternative to the "it's-not-your-fault-blame-your-dysfunctional-family" crowd of pop-psychology. For all those who need to get to the root of anger... buy this book!

This is an excellent book on dealing with anger and what the scriptures have to say about it. I shared this with one trained in clinical counselling and was told it was the best book available on this topic.
