Dear Pastor:  If you are like me, you get to have lots of conversations about sin and suffering.  Just think about your congregation...Some of your sheep are depressed.  Couples struggle with martial conflict.  You are bound to know a few workaholics.  Many men are leading their wife poorly in marriage.  Men struggling with internet pornography; women struggling with eating struggles.  Maybe you've had someone who is suicidal.  And the list goes on and on. 

A common thread that often runs through these sins is anger. 

The depressed person is angry at God for her sorrow.  The wife is angry at her husband for his neglect.  Woman who is struggling with food is angry with herself for constantly giving in.  The man stuck in internet pornography is mad at himself for always giving in to the sin.  And the list goes on and on.

I don't want to do a long excursis on anger.  Rather, I want to suggest four resources for those struggling with anger or those who are helping someone who is struggling.

#1:  To start, David Powlison's lectures that CCEF's National conference.  

#2:  Robert Jones book Uprooting Anger. 

#3:  Paul Tripp's CDs or DVD set How to be Good and Angry. 

#4:  Steve Estes' talk on anger within church leadership.

Pastor, I hope these suggestions provide a few good biblical resources to help you care for angry sheep.
