When People Are Big and God Is Small
$15.99
Overcoming Peer Pressure, Codependency And The Fear Of Man
Author: Edward T. Welch
Overly concerned about what people think of you?
All experiences of the fear of man share at least one common feature: people are big.  They have grown to idolatrous proportions in our lives.  They control us.  Since there is no room in our hearts to worship both God and people, whenever people are big, God is not.  Therefore the first task in escaping the snare of the fear of man is to know that God is awesome and glorious, not other people.
Welch uncovers the spiritual dimension of people-pleasing and points the way through a true knowledge of God, ourselves, and others.

Reviews
“Ed Welch is a good physician of the soul. This book is enlightening, convicting, and encouraging. I highly recommend it.” –Jerry Bridges
“Need people less. Love people more. That’s the author’s challenge. . . . He’s talking about a tendency to hold other people in awe, to be controlled and mastered by them, to depend on them for what God alone can give. . . . [Welch] proposes an antidote: the fear of God . . . the believer’s response to God’s power, majesty and not least his mercy.” –Dallas Morning News
“Refreshingly biblical. . . . brimming with helpful, readable, practical insight.” –John F. MacArthur Jr.
