Fabulous
I've read many self-help books, but this is the only one that specifically and clearly addressed how to identify Anger at God and what to do about it.

I wish I had read it years ago!

He couples the academic discipline of psychology with the teachings of the Bible into a package called "Christian cognitive therapy" which can help you to be liberated from unhealthy bahavioral patterns. In the beginning of the ...
