I have been reviewing What's Good About Anger? again and have found it continues to help me evaluate cognitive distortions I have and work on changing them to truth. Also, I am discovering how to use new coping skills to manage my anger. The Application Devotionals have really helped me learn about God's love, grace and power which is available to help me work through my anger in a biblical way.

"I understand that anger isn't always wrong and it has a purpose when you use it to bring about positive results. I can seek help from the Lord to control this. I don't have to and shouldn't use suppression as an adequate coping mechanism. It has helped by giving me an improved technique for managing my anger. Using time-outs and prayer has shown me imporovements in my communication with those who anger me. I can be assertive without being angry. It has helped me assert my feelings in a positive way. I am getting imporoved results . .. and am continuing to receive benefit from this book. I am thankful to the authors for helping me."

When I asked a councilor for a recommendation on a book on anger, this was his #1 suggestion. I haven't looked at many books, but here's what I like about this one:

1. It's short and to the point.
2. The text is thorough, logical, but also broader than anything I've read to date.
3. The book is set up with questions (even in a format that it could be used in a group setting.) Questions can really help the reader take the material deeper, and these will do that if they're applied.
4. There is a Christian view-point woven gently into the strong scientific-based text.

"This book is a real God-send for those struggling with anger and for those who have family members struggling with anger. Anyone could benefit from this book because it looks at the roots of anger and offers very practical Biblical guidelines to deal with anger. As a counselor, I have seen how anger can be so very destructive to individuals and families. Ted and Lynette have done a tremendous job in helping give greater understanding to this issue with powerful proven truths that will definitely change lives."
