The emotion of anger is God’s good gift to us, to help us to hate and resist all that is wrong. But anger may itself also be turned to serve sinful purposes. Richard Baxter gives valuable and practical advice on how to recognize and overcome this sinful anger in all its forms.

Slightly adapted and paraphrased from the edition of Baxter’s A Christian Directory, edited by Richard Rushing. A small, “pocket edition”, 3-1/2″ x 5-1/4″ volume.
