When People Are Big and God Is Small

Overcoming Peer Pressure, Codependency, and the Fear of Man

By: Edward T. Welch

Narrated by: Jeff Moon

Five college students pitch a tent by their car one dark night, not realizing they’ve set up camp by a military runway. They awake from a deep sleep to the shaking of the earth and a roar like mountains falling―the sound of a military transport plane taking off right over their heads. Can you imagine the visceral terror of that moment? For author and biblical counselor Edward Welch, it was a glimpse of what the Israelites experienced in God’s presence at Mount Sinai. Our God is a consuming fire. His holiness and relentless love put our sin, our weakness, and our fears in perspective. If we can learn the fear of the Lord―a fear that in Christ is filled with gratitude, love, and devotion―we can break free of the fear of other people that so easily entangles us. We can experience joy in our Christian lives as we need other people less and love them more. This groundbreaking work has helped countless numbers of people to confront their fear of man and live in freedom. The new edition features clarifying additions, new material, and revisions throughout.

Good

Good listen.....have waited for this to come out in audiobook for a while now. Thanks

Don't worry bout what people

God is much bigger than people and many times we allow others to out power Christ

Fantastic, much needed message

This book does an excellent job with the fear of man. It explains how and why it happens and how to fight it. I highly recommend the book.

Profound- for all people

I Loved the transparency and the biblical solution that is offered. He invites us all to throw off the chains of living for human approval.

Life changing.

This book equipped me and helped me to better examine myself. God bless the writers and I hope that it blesses you.
