"The Search for Significance" is part book, part workbook. The first half is brimming with scriptural insight, anecdotes, and examples of God's truth bringing about necessary change in people. This book really helped me refocus my purpose and find out where I was finding my worth and significance. McGee addresses various issues that hinder our perspective to see our true worth through the eyes of God. Some of these things include the performance trap, approval addiction, the blame game, and shame. He explores the solution to these as well: justification instead of performance, reconciliation instead of approval, propitiation instead of blaming, and regeneration instead of shame.

The format is well-organized and easy to follow. These type of books tend to be wordy and hard to get through, but this book does not fall into that trap. I am not a work book guy, so the workbook really dragged this book down in my opinion. If I were more patient, this workbook could have been more helpful, but since each chapter is brimming with incredible insight, I was overwhelmed with knowledge and my attention was therefore distracted. Overall, I recommend at least the book portion of the book. (show less)

Wwhile you may got lost trying to keep the characters apart, the personification of the spiritual warfare that Christians face really hit home for me. These books really opened my eyes to the spiritual warfare and since then, I have been more sensitive to the ways of Satan and his demons and how each Christian must respect the power of Satan, yet be undaunted by it, for our power in Christ is far greater!
