“'Needing people less and loving them more.' This is the challenge that the author offers us… He evokes the tendency that we have to fear others, to let ourselves be controlled and mastered by them, to depend on them for those things that only God can give us… [Welch ] offers an antidote: the fear of God… the believer's response to the power, majesty and, not least, the mercy of God. »
