George Quin’s book, “Taking Anger Seriously: A Divine Answer for Human Anger (Participant Workbook),” was among the books featured in the December 2025 issue of The New York Times Book Review (NYTBR) magazine.

He retired after 29 years at Frito-Lay North America Inc. and now serves as Community Care Pastor at Midway Church and on the Board of Directors at Denton Freedom House, a Christ-centered home for men and women with addictions.
“Taking Anger Seriously: A Divine Answer for Human Anger (Participant Workbook)” is an extension of “Taking Anger Seriously: A Divine Answer for Human Anger (An Expanded & Updated Bible Study),” a compelling book about examination of anger, reflected by the author’s shortcomings but has come through to the other side with wisdom and grace. This book offers a new perspective with divine guidance that will surely have a positive effect on your life.
The workbook is thoughtfully designed with worksheets that facilitate comprehension and retention of the course essentials.

This interactive approach not only refreshes the reader’s understanding but also leads them to actionable steps that can foster personal growth. By engaging in the material, readers are encouraged to confront their anger and seek a more peaceful existence, ultimately aligning their emotions with divine principles.
Ultimately, Quin’s exploration of the relationship between love and anger points out that God’s nature is characterized by patience and love. By embracing God’s love, readers can learn to neutralize their anger, much like how opposing chemicals interact.
