Even Christians get angry.

As people of faith, we may believe we shouldn’t feel anger, that somehow we ought to rise above it. But anger is part of being human. Injustice, loss, and hurt can stir it in us, and sometimes they should.

In this small book of reflections, trusted spiritual voices across generations help us meet our anger honestly, without shame or fear. Thich Nhat Hanh, Sue Monk Kidd, Howard Thurman, Madeleine L'Engle, Roberta Bondi, and others show us how to listen to what anger is telling us and how to let it lead toward healing, courage, and right action instead of harm.

"Anger is a natural passion. It's how we express our anger and where we allow it to lead us that matter."

Read one reflection at a time, and let these voices help you tend your anger with wisdom and grace.

Inside you’ll find:

  • Short essays and poems on anger from beloved spiritual writers
  • Honest reflections for anyone feeling frustrated, hurt, or overwhelmed
  • Wisdom suited to personal prayer, journaling, or small-group conversation

Part of the Hope, Faith, Forgiveness, Compassion: Wisdom for Today Book Series. Also available as a four-book bundle.

Reseñas

“Yet anger needs not only to be recognized and allowed; like the grief, it eventually needs to be transformed into an energy that serves compassion.” Sue Monk Kidd

“We Christians are taught to be suspicious of anger, and many of us have felt that anger has no place within forgiveness. But anger serves as a warning signal that we sense a threat to something of value to us....” Flora Slosson Wuellner
