Excellent Book on God's Greatness!,

This review is from: When People Are Big and God is Small: Overcoming Peer Pressure, Codependency, and the Fear of Man (Paperback)
Welch has written a gem on the need for us to realize how great God really is and how we need to stop fearing other people so much!The focus of Welch's book is to have a greater healthy fear of God to the point that other people have less power and control over our lives. The points Welch describes in his book include: 1. The fear of God is the best treatment for the fear of man. The "fear of God" may be defined as having a healthy reverence for God - He loves us and does not want us to be so afraid of Him that we are scared of having a personal relationship with Him. Read the book and be encouraged to be more concerned about what God thinks and less concerned about what other people think!

Bar None, the most helpful, the best book I have ever read,
By A Customer
This review is from: When People Are Big and God is Small: Overcoming Peer Pressure, Codependency, and the Fear of Man (Paperback)
This book was recommended to my husband and I during marriage counseling with a very prestigious, well known doctor. I wish we had read it a long time ago. I have never had the biblical concept of *love* in its truest sense explained so clearly. I would highly recommend this book to anyone that has struggled with dysfunctional family relationships, codependency issues, or even just loving your enemies. I want to buy a case of these and pass them out to everyone we know!! That's how great this book is.

A really convicting and transforming book!,

This review is from: When People Are Big and God is Small: Overcoming Peer Pressure, Codependency, and the Fear of Man (Paperback)
I read a lot of books but this book is one of the few that i would re-read again and make notes so that i can really get a good grasp of its wonderful and convicting teaching. It is also one of the few books that i can say really challenges my thinking and living.This book also got me more interested in counselling and "Christian" psychology. Some of the views written challenges many common Christian Psychology/counselling teachings - he challenges some of Larry Crabb's views. But besides these "differences" (which i need to look more into), i think this book is an excellent read - especially for Christians who are in leadership positions. There is always a tendency to be controlled by the opinions of man, and thus in Welch's terms, succumb to a fear of man, rather than to be controlled by what God teaches, therefore be a God fearing Christian. This book calls us to deny ourselves, to crucify our ungodly desires for popularity, fame and good opinions of man. It calls us to see God as bigger than man and once we do that, we will start to fear God and not man. Wonderful thought-provoking, life- and attitude-challenging stuff.
