Publisher Description
Building on her signature message of using the mind to master difficult emotions, Joyce Meyer focuses on the most destructive, insidious one of all: anger. It is responsible for broken relationships, sleepless nights, high blood pressure and ulcers. It destroys friendships, marriages and families, not to mention peace of mind. Anger is especially hard to handle for many Christians who have learned from childhood that "good Christians don't get angry." Meyer argues that properly handled, anger is an alert system that something is wrong and needs to be resolved.
In her latest book, she delves into the important process of forgiving, explaining its positive impact on the roots, the forms and the results of anger.
Why forgive? Joyce explains that forgiving is the only thing that can free one from the terrible turmoil that anger causes to spill over into every part of life.
Meyer understands that life will never be fair, but that is not a reason to let anger destroy our well-being and health. This is her guide to navigating that thorny territory and finding true peace.

"This is one of the best-written books on the subject of forgiveness ever! Because Joyce Meyer experienced years of horrific sexual abuse by her father, she knows the unspeakable suffering of those who have been abused and also recounts the amazing power of forgiveness. Her book is a masterpiece, and because she understands the subject so well, she writes with power and great wisdom."

" This is a must read, I think one of Joyce's best. It is so much about her and so much about us! This one I will keep as a resource, reread a little as needed. There is not one single page that you can't take away something that can help you. Give it as a gift, to yourself if needed but read it. "

" Another amazing book by Joyce Meyer. Right from the beginning I had many areas marked to write down. She helps us learn about forgiveness, how to, why we should, and how it helps us. Even though I have heard some of these points before she has a way of making the reader "get them". "
