A Biblical Study of What Anger Is and What to Do About It

"I'd just as well tell you. You're looking at an angry, bitter man." Larry's dark eyes flashed and his body tensed.

There are many Larrys. Their anger causes untold suffering. Their anger kills people, turns children into rebels, disintegrates families, and divides churches.

Anger leads people into emotional bondage. There they live in prison cells of resentment and bitterness. Some plot revenge. Some lose hope. And some prisoners want out. There is deliverance.

Putting Off Anger explains why people get angry and the terrible effects of unresolved anger on the angry person himself. But more importantly, this book shows how faith, forgiveness, and love can conquer this plague.

Clear and Biblical, this book offers hope and practical answers to families, pastors, and those struggling with anger.
