First off, let us apologize for a blank week on the blog. With Gayline out of town, Brooke overnight at the hospital with the little guy on Monday, and a lot of busyness on the part of the Lawrence sisters, we just couldn't get a post out.
As for the book, just another question for you today--and hopefully this time someone will respond :-)
Where are you in the book and what have you found helpful so far?
p.s. Would you take a moment to go back and answer last week's question? We really would love to hear from you.

I'll tackle both questions here real quickly...
First, I have chosen to read the book -
1) Because it's really great to have a group to read with.
2) Your introductory post encouraging us to read it has shown me that everyone needs teaching in this area.
3) Looking at my own life recently, I have noticed major room for improvement though at the outset, I wasn't so sure the topic applied to me. We can all use this, no matter how young or quiet or whatever it may be...
Second question - Unfortunately, I haven't been able to start yet (sorry!) because I've been under lots of pressure from school and trying to finish up the other book I've been reading. Of course, most of my finals are done as of yesterday and I look forward to getting started in the next day or two!

excellent, Courtney! Thanks for chiming in. You'll have plenty of time to read the book as we probably won't start the next one for a few more weeks. Thanks for joining in and I'm sure you'll benefit from it. Like you said, "we can all use this, not matter how young or quiet or whatever it may be..."
Unfortunately, I didn't need a lot of convincing-- showing me that I need to read a book about anger...I am all too familiar with this enemy within me and am absolutely looking for ways to uproot it from my life. It seems my efforts to conform to Godly character and behaviors with regards to my anger has "stirred up the pot"-- so to speak-- and more recently, my anger has come out in ways that have actually surprised me. I shouldn't be surprised by the evil that I have the potential for, but the heat that came from within me was shocking to see and even more shocking to feel...
Needless to say, I have been looking forward to this book and will finish chapter 6 tonight. I have found it timely and very useful for me at this particular point in my battle and I have underlined all over the place for reference because this won't be the kind of book that I just read and set aside!
I am extremely thankful that God, who by His grace, is pulling all of this junk out of me...it's been in there my whole life--and it didn't even look that bad (to me) because I wasn't trying to see it as God sees it!
Hey Brooke - miss seeing your updates on facebook, hope your little man is doing better!
