This total awesomeness of being out of control of our sadness and bringing healing to our bones, life and family through forgiveness and letting God take full control. Thank you Lisa for such a transformative moment for me.! I Will never be the same again

Difficult book to review because it was A) very different from what I had expected, and thus B) not very relevant to me.

I had assumed that it was a book on all aspects of being angry, meant both for those who got too angry and for those who didn't get angry enough. It turned out it was only aimed at the former, and as keeping my temper isn't really a problem to me, there wasn't much in the book I could use.

Lisa Bevere has an interesting and captivating way of writing though, and there were some chapters that were spot on - not keeping a grudge for instance, and giving an honest apology if you were in the wrong - so at the end of the day, I'm glad I read it, even if I didn't get as much out of it as I'd originally hoped.
