Summary of Edward T. Welch's When People Are Big and God is Small

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The author’s life was controlled by other people’s opinions. He was always shy and self-conscious, but never considered it a problem until he was nominated for a senior award. Then he felt like a total failure. #2 I had no answers, but the events of the day certainly brought these issues to the front of my mind. I was a Christian, but that didn’t help me put up a fight. I still felt self-consciousness, being controlled by the opinions of others, or whatever it was called. #3 I had a conversion experience when I was a seminary student, and I realized that I didn’t have to care about the opinions of others. I could simply be aware of God’s opinion of me, which was rooted in the finished work of Jesus. #4 I thought my treatment was working, until I got married. Then I realized that I was still being ruled by the opinions of others. I wasn’t feeling fine, but I wasn’t motivated to investigate further.
