About this listen
When people treat you wrongly, insult you, or are outright sinful to you, how do you react? Are you satisfied to hold grudges against those who wrong you, as long as they don't lead to action? Unfortunately, your decision to harbor bitterness is just as much of a sin as the one originally committed against you, and your reaction to others' sin is a spiritual battle you are called on to win.
Lou Priolo focuses on that battle in this vital book that seeks to weed out the problem of bitterness. By offering a biblical definition and identifying its outward signs, the author equips you to recognize bitterness in your own life, and he lays out a scriptural plan to ensure victory by repaying others' evil with good. You will find grudges losing their grip as you focus instead on how to show love.
The Resources for Biblical Living series addresses a wide range of practical life issues in a straightforward, down-to-earth, and, most of all, biblical manner.

Story
Many Christians see conflict as a dirty word—something to be avoided at all costs. After all, aren't Christians to be peacemakers who strive to maintain unity? But, as Lou Priolo reminds us, many other things that the Bible exhorts us to do—such as convicting, rebuking, and admonishing other Christians—make conflict a necessary part of the Christian life. Lou takes us through the biblical principles of conflict resolution, beginning before conflict even starts.

Story
Anger and stress affect each of us every day-even if we aren't feeling them ourselves, we come into contact with people who are. But their commonplace nature shouldn't cause us to shrug them away. Anger and stress are both destroyers, and they must be controlled before they bring devastating harm. Mack exhorts us: "You don't have to be overcome and destroyed by ungodly anger or stress. By God's grace, you can be an overcomer." Of all the resources available to us, the Bible contains the most trustworthy and helpful guidance on how to handle ungodly anger and stress.

Story
How can we persevere through persecution? First-century Christians wrestled with this question. They were often harassed, slandered, beaten, and ostracized for their faith. As they endured these difficult circumstances, we can imagine their joy upon receiving two encouraging letters from the Apostle Peter. No stranger to suffering, Peter likely penned these letters while in a Roman prison just before his martyrdom. In this volume, Dr. R.C. Sproul takes us through Peter’s epistles line by line.
