Good and Angry shows readers how anger is more than a problem to solve. Anger is our complex human response to what we perceive as wrong in a complex world, thus we must learn how to fruitfully and honestly deal with it.

Good and Angry examines God's desire for justice and His anger, which doesn't devolve into manipulation. Rather, God's anger is good and redemptive, and it causes Him to step into our world to make wrongs right, sending His own Son to die so we can be reconciled.

Good and Angry helps people who struggle with irritation, complaining, or bitterness explore how to respond constructively when life goes wrong.

"Talk" seems so normal, so ordinary, so harmless. Yet there are few things we do that are more important. And underneath the normality of it all is a great struggle, a war of words that we fight every day.

Recognizing that words are powerful, Paul Tripp shows us how the gospel transforms the way we communicate. Our Lord Jesus Christ, the Word is the only hope for our words. In our war of words, He is the one who gives us the victory. Tripp directs us to a renewed reliance on our heavenly Father's abundant grace and a more Christ-honoring, people-benefiting life of talk.

Is it harder for you to change and grow as a Christian than it should be? Do you wonder what is holding you back? Have you ever considered that it might be idolatry?

Using real-life stories and examples, Brad Bigney's Gospel Treason: Betraying the Gospel with Hidden Idols shows us how the idols we might not even recognize can still have devastating effects in our lives. In this transparent, honest book, he helps us identify our idols, understand how they lead us to commit treason against the gospel - and finally repent of them and root them out forever by turning to the only One who can fill our every need.

How would you like to fight an enemy, who, just as you have him in the ropes, always evades the final blow? An enemy who hides just out reach, lulling you into a fall sense of security, until he drops from nowhere onto your back?

That's the advantage of indwelling sin - it lurks in an unsearchable fortress where you can't get to it. But if God has redeemed us from sin - and given us His Holy Spirit to sanctify us and give us strength against sin - why do we go on sinning?

Drawing from the two masterful works by English theologian John Own, Kris Lundgaard takes aim at the enemy within. He shares his discovery of hope, renewed love for Christ, and an approach to holiness by faith in Him.

Lives grind to a halt when people don't know how to relate to their past. Some believe "the past is nothing" and attempt to suppress the brokenness again and again. Others miss out on renewal and change by making the past more important than their present and future. Neither approach moves people toward healing or hope.

Pastor and biblical counselor Stephen Viars introduces a third way to view one's personal history - by exploring the role of the past as God intended. Using Scripture to lead readers forward, Viars provides practical measures to

• understand the important place "the past" is given in Scripture
• replace guilt and despair with forgiveness and hope
• turn failures into stepping stones for growth

This motivating, compassionate resource is for anyone ready to review and release the past so that God can transform their behaviors, relationships, and their ability to hope in a future.
