All people experience anger at some point in their lives, although the way in which anger is experienced and expressed is often shaped by social context and religious background. Carroll Saussy offers this book to assist people in learning how to evaluate, understand, and effectively express authentic anger. She explores the psychology, the ethical considerations, and some practical ways of dealing with anger and proposes a theology of anger that is instrumental in addressing injustice. She also identifies ways that anger can be harmful and ways it can provide an impetus for constructive action. A helpful three-step technique for evaluating and expressing anger is presented and illustrated.

Saussys "gentle but firm admonition to befriend our anger and to serve God through creative expression of holyanger challenges us to take a deeper look at this complex human emotion." --Andrew D. Lester, Professor of Pastoral Theology and Pastoral Counseling, Texas Christian University

"Saussys careful weighing of angers costs and values makes clear that, like very gift, the gift of anger must be contemplated to be fully appreciated. Since our religious traditions and beliefs, as well as our emotional makeup and experience, play major roles in shaping our encounters with anger, Saussys interweaving of theological and psychological insight results in sterling suggestions to guide our contemplations. Whether we are religious seekers struggling personally with anger or pastors searching for help with preaching some good news about anger or teachers and counselors seeking a text that can guide healing efforts, this book offers hope."--Kathleen J. Greider, Assistant Professor of Pastoral Care and Counseling, Claremont School of Theology.

This book "provides a biblical basis and a very practical and viable methology for using and expressing anger in a healthy and redemptive way. Just reading this book is a therapeutic experience!"--Glenn H. Asquith, Professor of Pastoral Theology, Moravian Theological Seminary.
