Synopsis

A remarkable vision for how Christians can live with countercultural gentleness in a perpetually angry, attacking, outraged time.“Wow! What a great book!" -- Max LucadoIn a defensive and divided era, how can followers of Jesus reveal a better way of living, one that loves others as God loves us? How can Christians be the kind of people who are known, as Proverbs puts it, to "turn away wrath?" Scott Sauls's compelling new audiobook points the way by helping listeners:grow in affection for Christ, who answers our hostility with gentleness;nurture a renewed, softened heart in light of Christ's gentleness toward us;and forsake us-against-them mentalities, putting down our swords, and permeating a hostile world with gentleness.For those who long for a more civil way of being, A Gentle Answer provides an inspiring and transformative path for countercultural gentleness in our perpetually angry, attacking, outraged time.Reflection questions are available in the audiobook companion PDF download.“I can’t think of a more needed and timely book.”—Dr. Paul David Tripp bestselling author of New Morning Mercies“Reminds us of the essential and needed attribute of gentleness in a world steeped in outrage and cancel culture.”—Dr. Bryan Loritts, author of The Dad Difference“An urgent book for our fractured times.”—Jen Pollock Michel, award-winning author of Surprised by Paradox

Goodreads review by Nathan on August 21, 2020

Wow, I wish I could give this book 10 stars. Scott Sauls does a magnificent job piercing the anger, bitterness and unforgiving hearts that are so common in Western Christian society today and this year especially (including myself)! He does a fantastic job of cutting at the heart of the issue and gi......more

Goodreads review by Kathryn on June 01, 2020

If ever there was a timely book it is this! Currently there are protests following the death of George Floyd. Having the building in which I reside surrounded with protestors and police in riot gear last night and anticipating the same tonight, today I am reading the chapter, "We Do Anger Well."

This is an amazing book that speaks to Christ's response to the anger and discrimination in this world.

Goodreads review by Porter on January 11, 2021

Particularly poignant book to finish after the disaster that has been the beginning of 2021. This book has an excellent explanation of how Christ’s patience and grace can equip us to be patient and graceful. It’s not as powerful as “Jesus Outside the Lines” but it’s still a worthwhile read.......more

Goodreads review by Dave on December 26, 2020

This was my favorite book of 2020. The author challenges you in so many ways throughout this book. This is the kind of book where you find yourself underlining almost every paragraph. I’m challenged to grow to be gentle toward those who disagree with, hate, speak evil against, or even betray me as a......more
