I bought this recent copy for a teen I know who I felt it would help, but I first read When People Are Big years ago. It is so, so helpful for breaking out of the self-absorption that comes with a variety of human conditions, including victimization, being introverted, neurodivergent, socially fearful, or just plain old-fashioned proud, vain, or narcissistic. Obviously, a book can't do that all by itself, but it can point you on the path to stop fearing people and caring, in the wrong way, what they think of you. The book is well-balanced, not blaming people who have been victimized for the challenges they face, but also not leaving them trapped in pain like so much psychological theory does. The book is written for professing Christians, since ultimately, Jesus is the only Way out of all of this. But if you are not a Christian, I still recommend you try reading it for a refreshing new approach to a familiar problem.

Fear God, that is the whole duty of man

Format: Kindle

A little religiosity toward the end felt like your own effort combined with Christ's, but over all a good perspective on how we view our circumstances of people and God.

Biblical truth

Format: Paperback

Very good book. Sticks very much to biblical truth. It can be a bit convicting and eye opening into certain behaviors of yourself and others. And shows you why the Fear of God is and should be much greater than the fear of man.

Excellent as always!

Format: Kindle

This book is SO GOOD I didn't even notice when I got to the last page. Fear of man is a crippling thing to harbour in our lives. It makes people big, our desires bigger...and GOD small. That's NOT what God created us to be like or intended for us. Instead, I and we should and must fear GOD alone. That way, people will be small and our desires even smaller. And that's the right way to live. May God help me and us all to live lofe His Way. Thanks Ed Welch for another great read! Always life-changing.
