Good Women get Angry
A Woman's Guide to Handling Anger, Depression, Anxiety and Stress
by Gary J. Oliver and H. Norman Wright

You may have grown up believing that Christian women shouldn't get angry--not for any reason, not at anyone, not ever. After all, doesn't the Bible demand that believers be longsuffering. So you hold your anger in even if it kills you. Which it might...

Thousands of women from all walks of life were surveyed about the unique pressures women face, and their rich insights greatly shape the encouraging counsel in Good Women Get Angry This thoroughly biblical and extremely practical book shows not only why anger is a proper and godly response to many of the challenges women face, but also how anger can be a vital tool in God's hands for bringing about needed change.
