Publisher's Synopsis
"After so much trauma and loss in his life at the youthful age of 22, I sought comfort from my parent's pastor. Instead of comfort, I was told that I have anger issues. Walking away, very broken, a question went through my mind: Is anger a sin?" This question remained on Michael Furlonger's mind for over 6 years. In this book, he chooses to dive into the very concept of what classifies as a sin. He brings up characteristics of Satan and his own faith in God. As he writes: "I considered it. I read the book of Job, where a man loses everything, even blames God for it, and it says that in this he did not sin (Job 1:22, 2:10). I read about King Saul in 1 Samuel 11:6 when the Spirit of the Lord fell upon him and he burned with anger." Michael wonders if his anger is justified like that of Job or Saul. Or, as a good Christian, should he just be happy about the circumstances. Michael manages to toe the line when expressing his anger of circumstances and his respect for church and his faith. As he says multiple times in the book, he didn't write the book to please the life-long Christian, but to share topics that are often too taboo for the church to reference.
