Coping With Your Anger: A Christian Guide

In a relatively short book, Lester provides soul- and life-saving advice for angry persons--and not just those coming from Christian backgrounds. His sharing of the hidden ways in which we hide our anger instead of dealing with it is one of the greatest gifts I have ever received and I am grateful for it. It takes a great deal of honesty and courage to face this issue but Lester has set a wonderful example. I shared the book title in my Emotions Anonymous group.

Coping With Your Anger

Dr. Lester was a professor of mine and I have both heard him speak on this topic and have read his book with great interest. It's a terrific discussion of an emotion that many Christians are very uncomfortable with and often believe is sinful. As a psychologist, I use what I learned from Dr. Lester to help my clients understand and cope with their anger. It's the resource I recommend to Christian clients who have concerns about their anger.
