| Convinced
that there was a need to explore the problem of anger
from a Christian perspective - Lynette J. Hoy, NCC, LCPC,
marriage and family counselor, developed and presented
the What's
Good About Anger? seminars for
churches, Rapha and AACC conferences from 1997-2001.
Ted Griffin,
Editor, Lay Counselor, writer and friend collaborated
with Lynette to author the first edition. They were
granted permission to use portions (triggers, causes
of anger)
from the B.A.R.K.
(Behavioral Anger Reduction Kit) training
materials
for counselors written by Gary Gintner, Ph.D., a professor
at Louisiana State
University for the book.
As Lynette and Ted offered seminars and workshops based
on the book - they realized a growing need to write a second
expanded edition for all audiencees and the community in
general. The second edition was published in 2006 and a
new
DVD produced based on the new edition in 2007.
 The following is a synopsis of the first book edition:
This book is written with a strong faith
emphasis to help Christians manage anger. Most
people
believe that anger is a negative emotion from
which
no good can come. Many Christians think that anger should
not be expressed and that such feelings are sinful.
This
book explores the emotion of anger and how anger-which
is part of the human experience-is a force God can use
for His purposes. The
authors present a biblical approach to managing anger, identifying
the process of anger; biblical examples of "good anger";
and how faith, assertiveness, problem-solving and forgiveness
impact anger and can be used by God for his purposes.
