Remember them that are in bonds,
as bound with them;
and them which suffer adversity,
as being yourselves in the body.

SHE'S GONNA BLOW!
By Julie Ann Barnhill
Harvest House, 0-7369-0433-6, PB, 272 pages, $
Barnhill confronts the anger women feel toward their children through the metaphor of volcanoes. In a warm, friendly style that includes many personal illustrations, she explores the reasons mothers explode toward their children and offers strategies to conquer that anger. Her informal style draws readers as if she is discussing the problem with them over a cup of tea. Having struggled with anger that came close to child abuse, she offers help with empathy and humor to other Christian mothers with the same guilty secret. Her strategies for overcoming eruptions could be strengthened by dealing with misbehavior before it drives parents to fury. Her appendix on child development seems weak on behavioral expectations, but her appendices on depression and resources are helpful. The book could help anyone struggling with anger though written for mothers. It would make a good resource for a church library. Three appendices.
