Beyond Burning Anger

About the Book

Are you still burning with anger about racism, social injustices, and private pains? Christians encounter anger that is difficult to manage, too. We are not exempt from experiencing situations that seem unfair. However, we can’t remain in unhealthy patterns that cause our lives to be bitter and unfruitful. If you are ready to explore how to allow spiritual and emotional principles to set you free from trauma and holding on to anger in unproductive ways, then read on. Conflict is a part of life and how we manage it contributes to our overall health and satisfaction. The Bible is replete with stories that highlight causes for anger in unfair situations; however, in each case, there is a way forward for God’s people. This book illuminates a path forward for African-Americans to experience more peace, joy, and love on their journey to the heart of God, even while living as marginalized people. Each chapter unfolds as a steppingstone toward personal freedom, recovery, and healing. Consider these biblical reflections, to gain access to greater resolve. As the adage goes—No Christ, no peace; Know Christ, know peace! Let’s make Juneteenth a wonderful opportunity to rediscover, reclaim, and restore our spiritual and emotional inheritance which will lead to greater freedom and a more fruitful life. I challenge you to create group chats and community forums to explore these findings further. It is my prayer that you may experience breakthrough transformations and move beyond burning anger, to embrace divine justice and the abundance that awaits you.
