What makes this book so uniquely powerful? The journey begins in a very private place: your thoughts. When I fail at something, I feel lousy about myself...When others don't approve of me, I can't seem to get over it...Sometimes it feels like I'll never measure up...These are the universal lies that trigger the cycle of the self-doubt, robbing you of joyful living.

"The Search for Significance" is a study about what we usually do to try to feel significant versus the truths in God's Word about where to find our true significance. Those who hope to find happiness and significance through meeting certain standards or gaining approval from certain people will find that it doesn't last.

This book helps you to identify where you currently look for significance, explores the Bible for the truth about how God sees us, and teaches us how to replace lies with truth ...more

I had to read this book for a Seminary class. However, I found it very helpful. The book hits upon various issues a saint will face in his walk with God and spiritual struggles. The part of the book that impacted me the most was the last three chapters that touched upon issues dealing with overcoming the deception we let ourselves fall into over and over and how to come out of that. It is similar to what I have seen in Cognative Therapy, but this touches upon the spiritual renewing of our minds. ...more

If you have never read this book --get a copy fast! This book explains that God loves you even when others think you are not up to par. It made me realize that my productivity levels and work performance are not what I am all about--my self-worth is based on who GOD sees me as, and not what MAN says or does to me.

If you ever needed a self-help book---this is a great place to start!

This is one of my ultimate favorite books!!!

If you read one book on self-worth, this should be the one. I really loved this book, and have always used it as a reference.

"Self-worth=performance + others' opinions" p. 27

I LOVED THIS BOOK. ...more
