The Rise of Rage explores the nature of anger and conceptualizes it as a primary emotion triggered by frustrated attempts to achieve one's ends. Counselor and psychotherapist Julie Christiansen walks us through a ten-step process to effectively and safely resolve our angry feelings, helping to free us from this much misunderstood emotion.

I have been there - in that space where I've been surrounded by feelings too big to name, too difficult to express. Sometimes my younger selves show up screaming and throwing tantrums, demanding that I deal with my problems the way they would prefer. Truth is, big feelings affect us all, even when we're growing, and long after we're grown.That is why I wrote this book for you. This Bible-based, self-help book explores intense emotions and the importance of owning and expressing them.By examining big feelings like anxiety, depression, grief, guilt, shame, hurt, betrayal, fear, anger, and frustration through the lenses of psychology and faith, I hope to equip you with the knowledge and the tools you need to express and resolve those feelings in healthy ways. Each chapter is structured with a story explained by the science and supported with scripture and strategy. The end goal? To acknowledge your big feelings, and to learn to express them in safe, appropriate ways, and to root your emotional health and strength in your faith.

As mothers, it is our destiny to face tragedy or crisis of some kind. There is no rule book that says mothers must outlive their children, or that a young mother will not lose a spouse in the early years of a marriage. There is no law that declares that motherhood is a bed of roses - in fact, where there are roses, there must be thorns. Along with the sweet comes the salty, the sour or the bitter. While we would love to avoid crises and tragedies, that is not our lot. The rain falls on the just and the unjust. Author, Julie Christiansen will introduce you to several women whose stories, although brief, are more than a simple footnote in the pages of Bible history. In addition to the stories from matriarchs of old, you will hear three tales from mothers of modern times including Julie herself, sharing their stories of tragedy, crisis, grief, and recovery. In her conversational style of storytelling as coaching, Julie shares with readers how even in times of crisis, mothers of faith can move from being bitter to being blessed.
