"Startling and compelling, this forthright study cuts through the Stoicism and Pharisaism of our Western Christian heritage to highlight the searching sternness of Jesus' love and the place of holy anger in the healthy Christian life. Angry Like Jesus should make waves."

"In a world of corruption and cover-up, it is easy for us to become cynical. Instead, Sumner invites us to get angry with Jesus’ anger. Here is a compelling, biblically rich take on one of the least understood emotions within the church. With the Bible in one hand and this book in the other, we are given a gift: an invitation to allow even our anger to be refined and be made useful in the hands of God."

"As I have found with all of Sarah Sumner’s writing, this book makes you grapple with deep theological thoughts in hard-hitting, practical ways that will change your life for the better. Sumner brilliantly unmasks the false idea that anger and love can’t go together, and, in the process, helps the reader become more loving precisely by showing us how to be angry in healing ways."
 

​"Sarah Sumner is a superb Christian thinker who does theology out of the depths. In this book she explores a theme well attested in the New Testament, but little discussed today: Jesus' anger."
 

"Angry Like Jesus is a powerful and needed rallying cry for a generation to look corruption in the face and say, 'It stops here with me!' Sarah Sumner is a catalyst and change-maker, masterfully showing how Jesus' anger is not what we have been taught to think it is, and how we become more alive, effective agents of change ourselves by embracing anger as Jesus modeled. On a personal level, Angry Like Jesus also brought healing and renewed purpose to some of the injustices in my own life, allowing me to see and experience them through a new lens. I highly recommend every person, young and old, read this book. Such a unique message."

 

"Angry Like Jesus offers the clearest and deepest exposition I've found on the theology of godly anger. Sarah Sumner shows us how such anger can mobilize Christians—lovingly, courageously, and responsibly—to become true peacemakers rather than passive, disingenuous peacekeepers. May God use this book to restore the integrity, honesty, hope, and fervor we in the church need to fulfill the Great Commission in our generation."

 

"Angry Like Jesus is a strikingly good book—clear, decisive and deeply thoughtful. Sarah Sumner makes good points on every page. I particularly appreciated the way she talks about her personal spiritual life, and how it has lessons for the entire church. Angry Like Jesus offers a profound and much-needed reflection on the nature of moral courage and the heart of Christian discipleship. What an enjoyable and essential read!"

 

"Sarah Sumner has the uncanny ability to get to the heart of biblical truth with conviction and love. She moves the reader to a place where change is not simply an option, it's a necessity. This book is timely for western Christians. We are living in days where difficult biblical truth is avoided because of a lack of knowledge of how to handle it with love, grace and theological correctness. Sarah Sumner does all three. In calling Christians to integrity, she takes us a step closer to the heart of our Savior. This is a book you will read more than once."

 

"Angry Like Jesus helped me see God in a fresh way, showing me a different angle on God’s truth and love. At the same time, it made me think about my own anger, exposing my selfish motives while calling me to something greater that is yet more truthful and more loving. I couldn’t put this book down. It’s both challenging and insightful. A must-read."

 

"Sarah Sumner is salt for the Church. I finished her book and am undone. I have never heard or read a clear teaching on this subject. So many of the questions I have had about God's Word were answered. Her book was used by the Holy Spirit to illuminate the shadows in my soul. Though my hidden areas of hardness in my heart were pinpointed as I read, by the time I finished the book I felt a lightness of spirit and joyful thanksgiving. I'm buying copies of this book for my family and friends."

"I just finished reading Angry Like Jesus, and I loved it! Sarah Sumner’s original research and theological insights are ground-breaking."

"Angry Like Jesus is about a faithful God, about the power and purpose of telling the truth in love, and about what it means to be the salt of the earth. Though I have known Sarah Sumner for years, I have never seen her angry. However, I have seen her act in truth on behalf of herself and others, even at personal cost. I resonate deeply with her desire to help others find moral courage."

"It takes an author of deep religious conviction to write a book entitled Angry Like Jesus and then to present within it her own personal testimony with equal conviction. Sarah Sumner has the guts to tell the truth on paper. Her love for the Lord and commitment to the gospel is evident throughout the book."

 

"Sarah Sumner has provided her readers with a well-written, carefully crafted, persuasively presented argument for being Christ-like in an area of our lives that Christians often neglect. Not unlike the apostle Paul, she exhorts us to be agents of wisdom, hope, and love, and to do so by being angry without sin."

"This book is amazing! Sarah Sumner has done a tremendous job of clarifying the confusion that lives around the emotion of anger. As I read, I was corrected and encouraged by the truth she shares. Sarah Sumner draws from so much Scripture that her words cut through the fog of incorrect thinking and make it possible for anyone reading the book to find true hope."

"This book is exciting, encouraging, and challenging. Sarah Sumner has the ability to communicate to persons on all levels. I believe her voice is prophetic enough to stir many to stand for truth."

 

"This book changed me. It is fresh, pithy, provocative, and important. I can’t wait for people to read it. Sumner tells us the truth in plain everyday language, yet with all the needed theological underpinnings. This book should become a bestseller."
