But God's anger doesn't devolve into manipulation or trying to control others to get his own way. Instead his anger is good and redemptive.

How are Christians to understand and undertake the discipline of psychology?

This revised edition of a widely appreciated Spectrum volume now presents five models for understanding the relationship between psychology and Christianity.

You are bored or stressed or hurt. Something is hard in life and you want a break. What do you grab for that you hope will protect, soothe, and comfort?

David Powlison shares that whatever reactions and emotions you experience, God is committed to entering into your struggle.

The damage you suffered may have been done in one terrible moment or over time. But the healing and the restoration will unfold at your pace, at a human pace.

In CCEFs Recovering from Child Abuse: Healing and Hope for Victims by David Powlison, you'll learn how to express your experience to God by composing your own personal liturgy.

What makes you angry? Sometimes it's small things: traffic jams, a waiter's mistake, or a friend's inattention. And sometimes it's big things: betrayal, injustice, meanness, violence, oppression, selfishness, and lying. How do you deal with your anger? Do you dump it on those around you? Or stuff it deep inside? David Powlison surprises us with the news that God is angry too, but his anger is expressed constructively, by giving his own Son, Jesus Christ, to right what's wrong with this world.
