A foundational book that deals with forgiveness, and addresses anger – and also that is written from a biblical perspective – is “Living Forgiven – Building upon the Foundation for all Spiritual, Emotional and Physical Healing.” http://www.lifespringsusa.com

one book I’ve found helpful is “The Prayer of Revenge: Forgiveness in the Face of Injustice” by Doug Schmidt.

It really deals with injustices that we face, whether they come intentionally or unintentionally, from believers or unbelievers. Biblical and practical.

My favorite book on forgiveness (and, as a psychologist, I've read a lot) is by Lewis Smedes – Forgive and Forget. He's written an updated version called The Art of Forgiving.

What I like so much about his book is that is differentiates between forgiveness and reconciliation – how forgiveness is something you do inside your heart – letting the grudge go, but reconciliation may require total repentance on the part of the perpetrator. His writing it easy to understand, flows well and is brilliant.

Anger – the power the Emotion by Gary Chapman (5 love languages) is exceptional…
when you've been wronged by Erwin Lutzer
Choosing Forgiveness by Nancy Leigh DeMoss
and a different angle – Joseph: A man of Integrity and Forgiveness by Charles Swindoll.

All of these are very helpful, and thought provoking…

The Sacred Art Of Forgiveness by Marcia Ford
The Angry Christian by Andrew Lester

I can think of no single book, but the works of Henri Nouwen have some wonderful reflections on forgiveness. He wrote with such spiritual maturity and Nouwen's works are all greatly informed by his background as a therapist. When doing any kind of inner work, Nouwen is always a great help.

I believe this person may also benefit, as I have, from a bit of reading on Emotional Intelligence -- author Daniel Coleman is a good place to start.
