This is my first book by Robert S McGee and it would not be my last.
In the Search for Significance Mr. McGee deals with emotional struggles which we go through from time to time and gives us a coping mechanism for handling these burdensome problems. As a result of trusting God we see the many wonderful things that can happen. The writer expounds on Self worth,
Performance, Others opinions of us, and False beliefs of ourselves which we just allow to live within us. He introduces us also to
The Performance Trap
The Approval Addict
The Blame Game and
Shame
All of these are answered through God's truth in the Bible and brings us back to healthy living along with repentance and obedience. It shows how much God cares for us and how totally he accepts us. We have not only been forgiven of our sins but we have received God's righteousness and made heirs with him.
There are a lot of people out there who would not know they need this type of book until they start to read the back cover. Trust me,it is for you as well.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book for someone looking to learn about oneself., November 9, 1999

By

This review is from: The Search For Significance (Paperback)

This book will challenge anyone whose willing to be honest with him/herself. It will help you deal with root issues of heart and understand more about yourself, as well as others. This book is not for the weak hearted. It's for the man/woman who has a longing to dive deeper into issues of self-worth, motivations, habits, attitudes, etc. Do not be deceived...if you're that person who has a high self-esteem this book will still challenge you in every area. I think it's for the Christian and non-Christian a like. I recommend reading the book with the workbook and a study group. I've had the opportunity to meet with several other women over the past few weeks and discuss a chapter at a time. Each person brings a new angle and perspective to the study.

5.0 out of 5 stars God's Love For Us Is Amazing!, March 2, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: The Search for Significance: Seeing Your True Worth Through God's Eyes (Audio Cassette)

This life changing book is a must read for any Christ follower at any stage of life. However, it is most valuable for those of us who have a head knowledge of the love of God, but didn't really realize that we did not have a heart knowledge of the depth of God's love no matter what we have done in the past.Sometimes the hardest thing to do in life is to forgive yourself and let God love you the way He desires and seeks after us. The author, Robert McGee sends the reader through a very Biblical and methodical look at Satan's lies that keep us in bondage that we must work to get God's acceptance and approval even if we have faith in God. The workbook and personality quizes are interactive and thorough. This book is very encouraging!
