Synopsis

Do you believe your struggle with anger stems from the wrong behavior you see displayed in your children? The knee-jerk reactions and blow-ups you’re facing are often a result of a bigger set of “triggers.” Some of these are external, like a child’s disobedience, backtalk, or selective hearing, while others are internal, like an overflowing schedule, sleep-deprivation, or perhaps your own painful experiences from childhood. Triggers: Exchanging Parent’s Angry Reactions for Gentle Biblical Responses examines common parenting issues that cause us to explode inappropriately at our children. Moving beyond simple parenting tips on how to change your child’s behavior, authors Amber Lia and Wendy Speake offer biblical insight and practical tools to equip and encourage you on the journey away from anger-filled reactions toward gentle, biblical responses.

Goodreads review by Señor on July 19, 2019

Frankly, this book was a disappointment. While it does have some useful practical suggestions for ways to avoid or handle some common scenarios that trigger parental frustration or anger, so much of the approach seems to be little more than an argument for parents (mostly mothers, for some reason) t......more

Goodreads review by Alison on July 30, 2023

To be honest, I didn’t want to buy this book. I didn’t want to admit that I struggle with “angry reactions”, but pride comes before the fall and the only falling I want to do is to my knees in prayer and repentance, which this book led me to do several times. I often read Triggers during my quiet ti......more

Goodreads review by Sarah on March 19, 2022

3.5 rounding up to 4. This book wasn't necessary a deep theological exegesis on anger BUT it was a great practical start for busy moms who already know they're struggling with (sinful) anger and want real suggestions on how to do better. While I wish the book had initially started with a thorough ru......more

Goodreads review by Erica on September 04, 2022

4.5🌟 I want to get a hard copy of this so I can mark it up. Definitely convicting. Since it was written as a devotional each chapter was a little shorter. I would have enjoyed them going into more detail in some of the chapters. Didn't agree with everything, but loved how they pointed everything back......more
