Summary: See Yourself As God Sees You!
Comment: McGee has written an excellent book (contrary to what some reviewers say) about obtaining significance in life through Jesus Christ (what He did for us and Who He is) instead of through our fleshly effort and the fickle approval of others.
Among the points McGee covers in the book include:
1. The abundant life does not mean a problem-free life.
2. Our worth is based on what God says about us and what Jesus Christ did for us, not our performance or the opinions of others.
3. God wants to be the Lord of our lives and He is unwilling to share that Lordship with anyone or anything.
4. Express your hurt and anger to God first before going to other people (the Psalmnist often did this).
5. The worries of this world are the main culprit in hindering our spiritual growth.
6. Christ, not self-improvement, is to be the goal.
7. God is not obligated to bless us, but does what is best for His honor and our growth.
8. 5 ways to use God's affirmation as an offensive weapon for changing our lives.
Yes, despite the pain and pressure in our lives, we can and do have a hope in Jesus Christ!
Read the book and be encouraged to focus on Jesus instead of yourself or others, to get your self-worth and significance.
Highly recommended!

Summary: I'd Give it more stars if I could
Comment: Billy Graham quotes, "this book should be read by every Christian." This book has personally changed my life and the way I value myself and the way I value others. This book deals with the false notion that Christians have to "earn their worth". It confronts many self worth issues and the workbook complements the text very well. This book had become manditory reading for many people who are seeking counselling and for those who wish to serve on ministry teams. I know very few who have read this book and their life has not been dramatically changed.
If you have any real questions as to how God sees you, or if the way you feel about yourself isn't what you'd like it to be, get this book. This book is practical, down to earth and applicable to life. The workbook really helps to apply the principles of this book to your life. It's really hard to read this book and not be changed for the better.

Summary: A must if you struggle with clinical depression
Comment: I thought I had tried it all when it comes to a Christian approach to treating depression only to be utterly disappointed when Christian books and counselors reduced the problem to something it wasn't. My problem wasn't being sad about circumstances in my life or unresolved sin in my life. My problem was thoughts that were so uncontrollable and dangerous that I felt like I had a beast taking over my head. Not being able to capture my thoughts was what led to the depression and suicidal thoughts.
During the process of seeing non-Christian counselors and psychiatrists to jump through the hoops for my insurance, I learned of cognitive therapy. I tried it, but it was very self-focused and all about self-love. The Search For Significance is the Christian version of cognitive therapy, in my opinion. It works because it teaches us how to break the patterns of false thoughts and replace them with true thoughts that we can actually believe in and that don't fail. I was able to reduce my dosage of medication significantly after going through this book and have been stable at the lower dosage for a year now. I am feeling strong enough to try a small decrease again in the near future and hopefully again & again after that.
It is very hard work and you must be dedicated and focused to learn the principles and tools to change your patterns of thought. It is so challenging that when I tried to do it before going on the meds, I couldn't handle it or absorb it. Once you get the tools down, then it is hard work to keep practicing them and keep from slipping into the old patterns. This is a book that you will pick up over and over again.
I agree with the other reviewer that chapter 3 on salvation was a bit slow. But I feel that it is very needed and purposeful. After all, how could this book be recommended to non-Christians without that chapter since the whole premise of the book is realizing your true identity in Christ?
