I have begun reading When People Are Big and God Is Small by Edward T. Welch. Though I am only three chapters into the book, I believe that this may be one of the most important books I read (and reread) this year.
The book asserts that we struggle with a fear of man that keeps us from doing what we ought. We look to men to give us what we ought to be seeking for in God. Our remedy is a true fear of God and love for men. Sounds remarkably simple, but it is profoundly poignant.
The book meets a personal need. I pray that God would use its Biblical truth to teach me to live before God and man in the way that I ought to.
