Anger: Escaping the Maze
$5.49Anger. We all experience it, some more than others. When is it righteous, and when is it not? How can we control our anger and not get caught in a maze of rage when things don’t go our way? David Powlison takes a close look at anger to help us to understand what it is and why we have it. He exposes three common misconceptions that leave us powerless to overcome anger.
Using the illustration of a traffic jam, he probes the assumptions and cravings of the heart behind a typical angry response. In place of the false premises and futile consequences of ungodly anger, Powlison guides us to biblical truths and outcomes that honor God and teach us how to live.

Stress: Peace Amid Pressure
$5.49Are you overwhelmed by stress? On edge? Pressured to achieve? Spinning into free fall? What is the “noise” going on inside you? Or are you quiet inside? David Powlison invites you to look at Psalm 131 to learn how to calm your soul. “Psalm 131 gives us intimate access to the inner life of someone who has learned composure,” Powlison writes.
“This person is quiet on the inside because he has learned the only true and lasting peace.” Psalm 131 is not about unruffled detachment or stoic indifference. It’s not about having an easygoing personality or low expectations. It is about learning composure through a relationship with Jesus Christ. His presence in our lives is the only thing strong enough to overpower stress. We can learn how to say with the psalmist, “Surely I have composed and quieted my soul.” (Psalm 131:2)
