Basic Christian philosophy to dealing with anger and forgiveness

Apparently a self-published, hard to find, book written by a veteran Midwestern pastor, father of 2 and husband of 35 years at the time of publication (2004). The book is sound in it's teaching and filled with personal stories from the author's personal life as well as his past counseling history. Not much to offer in earth-shattering new ways of dealing with anger, regret, hurts and forgiveness; just the Biblical principles 2000 years old. What's better? It is written in a very easily understood form, perfect for reading from any age 10 and above. It is short and quickly offering it's basic wisdom for any reader able to find a copy. The book demonstrates how our experiences mold our thoughts and behaviors. It also explains how use of Biblical principles can help overcome struggles and ease the paths of life in this world. Plenty of scripture support. Continued encouragement to be in prayer. See how to tolerate the differences between people. Embrace the enrichment of a mercy-coexistence between opposites. Defuse your inner frustrations/angers. 27 page Workbook chapter filled with personal measurement "tests" that can be used as a pre-book/post-read evaluation personally or in a group. Don't panic--they are very short, very agreeable, enlightening--not attacking. Solid Christian counseling advice from a patient pastoral written voice.
