Synopsis "Victory Over Anger: Rules of Engagement (in English)"
Anger management is not a skill you learn. It is a life changing achievement. There is such a freedom in having control over your anger instead of allowing your anger to have control over you. This book is geared towards learning techniques, scripture references, and applications which, when learned, will help you deal with the root issues of anger as well as learn daily applications for overcoming the control and effects of anger in your life. The real issue with Christians and anger is that it tends to be hidden (like sexual sins). But, because we are Christians, we want to try to appear perfect, and letting people know we have an anger problem might make us look "unchristian." So we take it out on those closest to us and "outsiders" never know. Because displaying anger in inappropriate ways is sin, many Christians are constantly beating themselves up, but they have no idea how to change, or where to go for help. This book includes help not only those with deep rooted anger problems, but also people dealing with everyday issues which lead to possible inappropriate displays of anger. It is written from the authors' personal perspective and includes many narratives about how she used inappropriate anger during the early years of her marriage, and in raising her children, and the methods she learned about controlling her anger. Chapter titles include: Choices, Self-Talk, Our Thought Process, Emotions & Anger, Rejection, Unrealistic Expectations, We Want Our Way, Act or React, Passive, Aggressive, or Assertive?, Seeing Others' Perspective, Goal Setting, Are You Angry At God?, Fair Fighting, Parenting & Anger, and Taking Time-Outs.
