Unabridged.

Brant Hansen came to a realization that righteous anger, an emotion that a lot of my fellow Christians seem to adore should not actually be a tool in the Christian toolbox. It's on display all over social media and at public events like the current spate of contentious school board meetings. For example, recently a former member of 2 Contemporary Christian bands was seen at the forefront of a mob that was menacing people in the parking lot after a school board meeting. He yelling, "You can live freely, but we will find you!" at medical personnel who testified in favor of masks. He became the story and all Christians got a black eye as Taliban-type extremists. 

The author, Brant Hansen

Instead, Hansen is trying his best to take the words of God seriously when he says  to avoid anger. Here are 20 verses that give that counsel. He describes the change in mindset that is required - a move away from selfishness towards others. 

He does not claim to have perfected it or even to have come close to perfecting it, but the change in perspective has made a tremendous difference in his faith walk. He gives examples of others being unoffendable, including people reacting to things he did to offend them. The difference is that Christians are not perceived as the world's judges - a big point since God has made it clear that he is the world's judge.

I rate this audiobook 4 stars out of 5. I liked the points it had to make, but it felt like the book was repetitive in an attempt to make it bigger.
