I got angry again and it played tricks on me. — I never get angry, I think it's not Christian. — There is good anger and bad anger, but I don't know the limits...
The mere mention of the word “anger” is enough to send us into complete confusion. Most of the time we form beliefs about anger without knowing its basis.
However, according to Gary Chapman, a renowned marriage and family counselor, feeling angry is not necessarily bad. It is above all a natural emotion against any form of injustice felt and which is sometimes much better than indifference.
In this work supported by concrete examples taken from his many hours of consultation, the author of the best-seller The Languages of Love helps us understand the reasons for our anger or that of our loved ones to better control it.
Faithful to what makes it successful, it gives us practical and accessible keys both on a psychological and spiritual level to help us transform our anger into a constructive and positive emotion.
The memory aids and questions at the end of the chapter allow effective implementation of the teaching.
