Could Go Either Way
I cannot say I didn't know about the bible references when I picked up this book. I had read other anger manegement books and was still looking for one that would give me insight into my own situation. So, after reading some of the reviews and feeling it would be worthwhile, I plunged in and resurfaced somewhere near the middle of the book. I had promised myself I would keep an open mind but it seems that wouldn't be enough. Just when things were getting good and I felt I was making headway I would crash into a bible quote. "Who put THAT there??" I would ask. It really proved to be a distraction to me. Kinda like a hitting a pothole or playing bumper cars.
Take chapter 7 for example, "How Pride Influences Anger".
"Aha!" I said. Here's where I get to learn something profound. And so it seemed. I was having one of those "That's ME!" moments as I read about pride/insecurity/control when it happened again. Everything was moving along fine when suddenly I find myself confronted with
"For what I will to do, that I do not practice; but what I hate, that I do" (Rom. 7:15)
No lie! Straight from pg. 120.
I started out a little angry, but now I'm baffled AND angry PLUS I have a tension headache.
Somebody tell me how this book ends 'cause I just can't take it anymore. All I wanted was to seek some self improvement. Jeez!

Angry Young Man
I've browsed through many Anger Management books and found this one to be good. Despite the reviews about religion and Christianity I picked it up with an open, objective mind.

As a person who has suffered with anger issues for more than 25 years I can say that I've had so much help from this book, even more help than my therapist. The impact of writing out personal things inside the book is very helpful to get a better understanding of the material and make it more personal. I've always felt it important to write my thoughts down to get a better understanding of myself, rather than just speaking them out loud to a stranger, and this book does that.

I'll admit that there was alot of references to Christianity, but I was able to take the core beliefs (I DO believe in God, and love for all man) and put the book to that use. It has given me a greater understanding of myself and why I used to get so pissed off.

Just understand that in order for Anger Management to really work, it will take time. The foundation may be laid out in a matter of minutes (depending on how quick you read), but the real work (changing your ways and outlook) takes time. Don't expect a quick fix because you will never find one. At least nothing that will last.

Book is a joke
This book is supposed to help with anger management? I am open to listening to mythical stories about dudes who lived a couple of thousand years ago as much as the next guy, but in an anger management book? Sin is causing all my anger? Wow didn't know that. I do have a better idea of something that makes me angry now, religious mythology passing itself off as a self-help book. Get this book over in the religious section with the rest of the fairy tales.

I wouldn't have been so upset about this if the book had something marked on it saying that it was religious in nature. I don't normally don't read such garbage and leave that to others who do believe in such things, but to slip it in and waste my time!!! Is this how you indoctrinate people in your beliefs?

Oh well, there's plenty of other anger management books out there. I will be more careful next time I select something like this and get something actually useful.

This book owes me some stars for being such a tremendous waste of time.

I'm sure christians will get upset at hearing this, but I'm sure you'll turn the other cheek.

If you need me I'll be over here with my "Sin"
