As a person that had alot of anger issues in the past, I can from my own experience say that the bible studies work. But not just that, it's also the community of people you get along the way, mentors and friends, and building your own personal relationship with God and allowing him into your life. Best decision I've made. By no means is my life easy; currently facing many challenges and hard times, but I rest knowing I have God on my side and through each challenge I face is just another opportunity to build on my character as a man and a future father/husband. I wanted a change (no anger issues, swearing and provocative language towards others...etc), and I got what I wanted and more.
