“Edward Welch analyzes one of the biggest problems in society and also in the Church. This problem has to do with our identity, how it develops and evolves in a healthy or unstable person. In short, the question is whether or not we are establishing our identity in God. If our identity depends on any other reality besides God, it is not only entirely sinful, but it will lead to disappointment and sometimes severe depression. This book will assist us in how to be healthy Christians.” Dr. Manuel Ortiz (Professor Emeritus of Mission and Urban Ministry, Westminster Theological Seminary)
“In the face of the increasing invasion of psychological labels for people’s problems, Edward Welch biblically analyzes the reasons why we give in to the demands of others. He proposes that ‘the fear of man’ is the biblical description for problems baptized by current psychology, and that, therefore, it is the fear of God that should govern our conduct towards others.
“This book is of singular personal usefulness, as it offers a series of concrete steps to overcome our fear of man and develop a healthy fear of God that allows us to love people without letting our agendas be governed by others. Likewise, the author analyzes the perspective of perceived needs and defines what we truly need as believers.
“Due to its high dose of biblical and practical wisdom, I believe that the content can be appropriately applied to children, youth, and adults.” Jaime Mirón (Vice President Luis Palau Evangelistic Association, General Editor of the New Continent Biblical Commentary, General Editor of the Spanish translation of the New Living Translation)
