Description
Book Introduction
From volcanic rage to everyday frustrations and complaints…
How to deal with the problem of anger that will have to be wrestled with for the rest of your life!

Now let’s look at anger from God’s perspective,
Learn to be angry in a good way!

Anger is a very important topic for Christians.
If you don't handle your anger well, it can ruin your life.
But if you truly understand anger, your understanding of life will broaden.
Anger is not a simple outburst of emotion.
Anger is a barometer of what you value, and it has to do with your thoughts, judgments, values, and everything about you.
The author deals with both the anger that is expressed violently and the hidden anger that even the person is not aware of.
It also offers practical help for those struggling with frustration, complaints, resentment, or ill feelings, and provides guidance on how to respond constructively when things get messy.

This book does not promise any foolproof techniques or strategies, as is often the case in self-help books.
Because no one can perfectly solve the problem of anger.
Instead, this book gets to the heart of anger, exposing the sin and pride that lie behind your anger.
And while introducing good anger as a channel through which God's grace and mercy are realized, it also suggests a way to be restored to the image of God by using the emotion of anger for good.

We will probably struggle with anger issues our entire lives.
However, if you follow the author's guidance and look at anger from God's perspective and resolve it little by little, you will learn how to maintain peace and be angry in a good way even in conflict.

Into the book
Anger manifests itself in many different ways.
Sometimes it appears as frustration, complaining, and annoyance.
Sometimes it is hidden and appears as a judgment of others or passive-aggression.
For some people, their anger is so deeply hidden that they don't even know they are angry.
For these people, anger may be disguised as a friendly face and sociable greetings, or it may manifest in the form of workaholism or drug addiction.
Of course, there are more times when I explode in anger.
The fact that when the Apostle Paul listed the typical sins of humanity, more than half of them were related to anger clearly shows how universal a problem anger is among humans.

The anger that day was not born of personal desire, but of love.
It was a moment I don't often experience in life.
But the good-natured anger of that day did not lead to actual action.
Because I didn't know how to help them.
35 years have passed since then.
And writing this book now is the result of that experience of anger being put into action.
That incident was a question of mine, a question I could call 'but you know what?', as I pondered how I could channel my anger in a more constructive and positive way.

To properly understand the problem of anger, you must understand that when you get angry, it is not the "what" but the "you" involved.
Anger is not a negative 'part' within you.
It didn't even 'happen' to you.
It is 'you' who are angry.
Page 94

When anger is directed in a positive direction, a greater purpose or authority takes control of the angry person's emotions and gives him or her reasons not to complain.
God in the highest, God with authority higher than anything in the world, His law, love, grace, and His greater plan transform our anger.
When we stop sitting in God's place and saying, "My kingdom come, my will be done," something amazing happens.
Inner motivation no longer takes the place of God, and God's grace and mercy humble us and He rules over us, so that my world eventually returns to where it should be.

Therefore, good and evil coexist even among angry people.
Your anger is both good and evil.
When you are angry, you walk the line between good and evil.
Your anger is good only to the extent that you value justice and fairness and hate betrayal and lies.
Also, your anger is evil to the extent that you make yourself God and become vengeful, merciless, irritable, cranky, and unjust.

I would first like to call this good anger 'constructive discontent based on compassion.'
Let's take a closer look at this expression.
Good anger is actually one of the channels through which God's grace and mercy are realized.
Good anger leads us to good even in difficult and evil situations.
Defend the rights of helpless victims.
Additionally, it points out the wrongdoer, promises forgiveness, and invites them to a new life.

There are many stories in the Bible about Jesus being angry.
Even if you look at history or literature, it is difficult to find a known person who was more angry than Jesus.
But Jesus' anger is always portrayed in a positive light.
Jesus was not fickle like us.
He also did not get irritated for no reason, nor did he get angry for selfish reasons.
The Bible describes Jesus' good anger in many ways.
We can see in Jesus what good and healthy anger is, and what the internal and external effects of good anger are.

Paradoxically, God's wrath is our hope.
God's wrath is my hope too.
We don't usually feel this, but the Bible speaks of this in many places.
God's wrath, based on love, solves all the problems of sin, reveals God's indescribable glory, and becomes an infinite blessing to us.
God, who is love, judges evil justly, destroys the remaining problem of sin, saves us from suffering, and protects us from sin.
Page 203

Because our anger is a mixture of good and evil and is often tinged with selfish bias, it is difficult to discern whether our anger is a participation in God's wrath or not.
So I'm going to introduce one tip to help you discern this.
The more petty and selfish the anger within me is, the less likely it is that I will participate in God's wrath.
Whether I am very angry or a little angry at someone, I cannot call it the wrath of God when I am angry at someone I personally dislike.
But the more the issues we wrestle with and are angry about are not selfish but rather bigger than ourselves, the more likely it is that our anger is participating in God's wrath.

All aspects of human nature, including character and behavior, were created 'very good.'
Because humans were created in the image of God.
But man sinned, and as a result, he became corrupted in every area of ​​life and no longer reflected that perfect goodness, the image of God.
But through Jesus Christ we can see that goodness again.
Jesus Christ, who is good, is good in every area of ​​life.
This Jesus Christ loves us and restores us to goodness through grace and mercy.
Therefore, even our destructive anger will be restored to goodness, just like His good anger.
