Good and Angry is a practical and biblically grounded exploration of anger, irritation, complaining, and bitterness. David Powlison explains that anger is more than a problem to eliminate; it is a complex human response to situations we perceive as wrong in a complicated world, and we must learn how to deal with it fruitfully and honestly.
Powlison undertakes an in-depth examination of the roots of anger, moral judgment, and the difference between destructive reactions and faithful, constructive responses by looking in a surprising place: God's own anger. He presents God's anger as purposeful and redemptive rather than manipulative.
The book shows how God's desire for justice leads him to act against what is wrong and to enter our world to make things right, ultimately shown in the gospel. Powlison helps readers consider how to respond when life goes wrong, relationships become difficult, or expectations are disappointed.
Good and Angry offers practical, pastoral help for individuals, families, pastors, counselors, and ministry leaders who want to respond to anger in ways that honor God and seek redemption rather than retaliation.
