If there was ever a book title appropriate for a pandemic, Let Go of Anger & Stress would have to be it. This work by noted author Gary Zimak is the perfect antidote to what's ailing many of us during these tumultuous times.
Zimak recommends activating the power of the Holy Spirit to combat the tensions in our lives. Along the way, he offers prescriptions for growing in the fruits of the Holy Spirit. These fruits include love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.
The author opens the book by citing the famous Biblical passage where Jesus is asleep on a boat battered by waves and a violent storm.
Zimak ponders, "Wouldn't it be great if we could learn to react like Jesus when we are battered by the storms of life?" He also reminds us that "God wants us to be at peace."
I found this book to be a fresh take on anger and stress management. Zimak reveals his vulnerability by frequently employing examples from his own life where he has fought off the tyrants of anger and stress. In a world where many events can raise our blood pressures, Let Go of Anger & Stress can help us achieve that elusive peace which only God can give.
