"Fearing God, I Fear No One"

"The most important message that Jake wants to leave to future generations and to anyone else who might read his story is that God is the one who carried him through his ordeal. When he thought he had no more strength to proceed, God gave him enough to make it through the day. And when God saw that Jake was at the limit of what he could bear, he ensured that nothing more was added to his plate" (Van Seters 107),

"I said I had no fear, but that's not because I was so brave, but because I fear the Lord and I know I was always in his hands" (108).
