“Far and away the best material on anger I have read, thoroughly biblical and immensely practical. Jones does a masterful job of helping us identify anger in our lives, then gives us biblical steps for uprooting it. Every Christian ought to prayerfully read this book and apply its teaching.”
—Jerry Bridges, author of The Pursuit of Holiness

“Most of us find it all too easy to use words like hurt, frustrated, and troubled to conceal the fact that we are often controlled by sinful anger. This book cuts through this disguise, exposes our bondage to anger, and marks a clear path to peace and freedom.”
—Ken Sande, President, Peacemaker Ministries

“Two things are hard to do with anger: face the fact that you have a problem with it and be hopeful as you do. This book will help you do both. Jones shows that the Bible is both shockingly honest about anger’s cause and wonderfully encouraging about its cure.”
—Paul David Tripp, author of Age of Opportunity

In Uprooting Anger you’ll find practical help as well as theological depth.”
—Elyse Fitzpatrick, author of Idols of the Heart
