Full disclosure: I have read all of two-and-a-half pages of Lisa Bevere's new book. Truly, based on those few pages, I could cease to read the rest of the book and walk away perfectly satisfied and changed. Why, you may ask? Because in reading the one anecdote Bevere highlights - the hook of the book - I was able to breathe a sigh of relief and praise the Lord with "It's not just me!"
I have lived every single second of her unbreakable-dish-through-a-window story (though my story varies a little in that it was a hairdryer and a hole in a door). I have felt so unbearably ashamed of my tantrum, but in the heat of the moment, have had the hardest time controlling it. When I do "blow it," I can't even fathom that the Spirit could be dwelling in me - a sinner of a repeat offense that just can't seem to learn. I am definitely quick to anger and slow to listen.
So what I can already tell about this book is this: Bevere is going to get real. She is going to walk me through her own shameful tantrums and make me feel a little less alone. She is going to point to a bigger-than-me Jesus, who teaches that anger itself is not a sin - if it is His righteous anger. These things I know. These things I have studied . . . in detail. So, no matter what the rest of the book says, I can know this: the Lord put this book in my hands to comfort this broken daughter, encouraging her to be angry and not blow it, all the while showing her that we all struggle and fall short. But He is faithful, and when we need a little comfort, He is sure to provide it.

How to be angry, and not blow it

|---|---|---|---|
Make the ChoiceDecide to exercise constructive anger. You must set your heart and mind to change and to turn from your old ways, patterns, and habits. |
Take a Step BackAsk what just happened. Why did this situation upset you? Is it a fear issue? Is it unresolved hurt? Often the reason is an obvious one, but regroup before you respond. |
Take ResponsibilityOwn up to your response. Humility is an integral part of taking responsibility. Resist the ever-present temptation to lay blame on the back of another. |
Learn and ForgiveGrow from your mistakes. Mistakes are not their instructors; they are their downfall. People who do not learn from their mistakes become overcome by them. Release yourself and others. You are forgiven the way you forgive. When you don't release others, it is hard to release yourself. |
