Produktbeschreibung

Praise for The Enigma of Anger "Wise and beautiful . . . This book is distinguished above all by its prose. What might have been merely a spiritual 'how-to' on anger management is transformed into a literary achievement by Keizer's way with words." --Publishers Weekly (starred review) "A wonderfully thoughtful, compelling, psychologically knowing book that is graced with wisdom." --Robert Coles, author, Children of Crisis series "Provocative, thoughtful, and supremely useful, this book is a brave expedition to a place most of us would rather not go. . . . A healthy and much-needed antidote to a slew of cultural orthodoxies . . . the kind of blessing that comes from God, and that endures." --Kathleen Norris, The Christian Century "It is no small irony that Garret Keizer's essay on anger is so thoughtful and graceful. Here is writing that triumphs over an emotion that otherwise, so often, defeats reason and frustrates love." --Richard Rodriguez, author, Brown
