Overcoming Hurts and Anger

Readers discover through real-life illustrations that feeling angry is normal and okay, what the Bible teaches about anger, step-by-step help for handling strong emotions, and how anger and forgiveness interact. Readers are shown healthy ways to keep communication open, handle problems as they arise, and keep God's love and grace flowing.

With its updated cover, the classic bestseller Overcoming Hurts & Anger: Finding Freedom from Negative Emotions (500,000 copies sold) continues to help readers find the love and acceptance they long for by teaching them how to handle strong emotions constructively.

God-given emotions help people evaluate and cope with the world around them. But when they're intense they can be overwhelming and harmful. And often Christians are told to ignore their anger and "be happy." Packed with real-life illustrations from Dr. Carlson's counselling practice, Overcoming Hurts & Anger encourages readers as they discover:

Why feeling angry is normal and acceptable
What happens when anger and hurts are mishandled
What the Bible really says about anger
How to handle strong emotions step-by-step
How anger and forgiveness interact
