Let it go. This true story reemphasizes the need to surrender to God those things we cannot control, and how God can do a great work in our lives when we do that. Arranged in a picture book format that even small children can understand.

When your pineapple isn't your pineapple

This is the anonymous true story of an American in Dutch New Guinea and his attempt to grow pineapples. He is thwarted in his attempt by both cultural differences and his own stubbornness and anger. After buying 100 pineapple plants and paying to have them planted he is rewarded with years of fighting with the natives. They see no problem with helping themselves to his pineapples, much to his chagrin.
At times hilarious, this book has a sobering conclusion in which he learns how to deal with the problem in a way that is acceptable to both him and the locals. Although ostensibly a book on "how to conquer anger" it goes far beyond that to deal with all of the emotions of a cross-cultural setting.

Where anger comes from and what to do about it

A clear, simple, compelling, true story that will lead a thinking Christian reader to challenging conclusions about where the anger comes from in his or her life.I don't want to spoil the story--the conclusion follows so naturally in the story line. However, I would heartily recommend this book for any Christian struggling with anger. Once I had read a borrowed copy, I chased down a used copy.
