Nowadays, anger or wrath has become a prevalent and visible emotion. In today’s fast-paced world, people are more exposed to stress and frustration and intensify feelings of helplessness and irritability. Anger itself is a natural human emotion, yet the ways it is expressed and consumed today can escalate conflicts.
Across the narrative, the author presented a set of logical analysis on God’s pure and justified anger and analyzing that against our anger. This book is divided into fifteen chapters, making sure to discuss certain kinds of anger and specific gospel-centered approach to them. It started with God’s wrath, which the author called “the point of reference” for our anger.
