Blowing Up

Blowing Up meets teenagers in the ten seconds between a trigger and the wreckage, following Dre, a seventeen-year-old whose locker-room blowup cost him a broken hand, a suspension, and his coach's trust. Built on the triad Slow. Steady. Soft., it maps your triggers, prices what anger really costs, and works through what Scripture actually says about anger before teaching the way back down: the pause, the soft answer, words that build, and putting bitterness away for good. The goal is bigger than not exploding — it is becoming a peacemaker, starting at home. Written in straight talk for teens ages 13-18, with one honest "Your move this week" practice in every chapter.
