For nearly 20 years, this bestseller has provided biblical guidance for dealing with potentially harmful emotions. In this expanded edition, Dr. Carlson (a diligent student of the Bible and specialist in both internal medicine and psychiatry) updates his "middle of the road" approach for today, helping you find balance between over-expression and total internalization.

Reviewers say...

"This book had a dramatic impact on my life... and also on my husband. Even though we both handle anger VERY differently, we both found extremely helpful information here. Dr. Carlson effectively demonstrates how anger has many faces and expresses itself in many different ways. Most importantly, he explains so clearly how anger is really an expression of either hurt or fear, and gives examples of healthier ways to express the fear or hurt so we don't feel driven to turn it in on ourselves or outward against others. I HIGHLY recommend this book if you feel overwhelmed (or even underwhelmed) with hurts or anger in your life."

One Amazon.com reviewer wrote:

"This book is finally a real help when dealing with anger. The author gives you steps on how to prevent your anger and deal with past anger in a Christian manner. He gives examples of mishandled anger, Biblical principles about anger, and how to handle anger in a Christlike way."
