About this audiobook
We are all searching for significance to ourselves, to others, to our community and to our world. Discover what three million readers have already discovered: that true significance is found only in Christ.
Robert McGee's bestselling book has helped millions of readers learn how to be free to enjoy Christ's love while no longer basing their self-worth on their accomplishments or the opinions of others. In fact, Billy Graham said that it was a book that "should be read by every Christian."
What makes this book so uniquely powerful is understanding that the journey begins in a very private place—your thoughts. “When I fail at something, I feel lousy about myself. When others do not 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 self-doubt, robbing you of joyful living. Now, you can free yourself from these self-defeating lies.
One by one, The Search for Significance confronts these lies, dismantles them, and points you to a higher truth that is the source of life’s meaning. It points you to Almighty God—the source of life itself.
In this re-launch of this timeless classic, you will:
- Gain new skills for getting off the performance treadmill
- Discover how four false beliefs have negatively impacted your life
- Learn how to overcome obstacles that prevent you from experiencing the truth that your self-worth is found only in the love, acceptance, and forgiveness of Christ
With a hands-on workbook and new, revised material, now is the perfect time to discover The Search for Significance. If you’ve already encountered its life-changing truths, there is no better time to explore them all over again, enriching your life in the process. Your own journey begins with this step.
Other products in the Search for Significance family of products include a devotional journal and youth edition.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5He teaches much valuable wisdom and I am grateful for him sharing his professional experiences with the world.
Especially the chapter 'guilt vs conviction' is great.
He also teaches many important elements of the Gospel, but not the Gospel. It is rather a feel-good gospel which tickles our ears.
Could you ever imagine that Paul would utter sentences such as: "Nothing can come between what you do and God's love for you as one of His children"? Certainly not. Paul or James would rather warn us to work out our salvation with fear and trembling. Yes, there is an essential aspect of God's love that does never stop. But there is no such thing as 'unconditional' love, only 'benevolent' love which is a huge difference. God clearly expresses His appreciation in nuances, and unrepented sin does certainly not imply the exact same degree of His love as the authors implies.
Or could you ever imagine Paul saying "God wants us to live our life to the fullest"? Certainly not. Paul would rather tell us of his hardships.
It is also not correct to claim that we can nothing add to our salvation. How about repentance, believe, faith, self-denial, communion, following Jesus et al.? That's quite a lot we ought to contribute, especially in the time of Present Salvation (sanctification).
The mention of CS Lewis in a Christian book is shocking (no matter who many others do the same), but at least only once. I would also not quote Freud (considered God as a phantasy) in a Christian book. He teaches much valuable wisdom and I am grateful for him sharing his professional experiences with the world.

The endorsement through Billy Graham is also deeply concerning. - Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I loved this book, but wish it weren’t the abridged version. Lots of truths and helpful concepts. I listened twice.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I think maybe I would have gotten more out of this book at a certain time in my life. For what it is, it is very good. The theology is mostly good (with some important slips, but overall it is good), and many of the points excellent.I would recommend it to others who are struggling with certain image issues, but for others a summary would work just fine. I liked the focus on Christ here, which puts this book above almost all of its competitors.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5excellent book!
highly recommended.
every Christian should have read it. it really helps how we see ourselves. - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5The negative beliefs highlighted in this book are so relatable. Every one of us is sure to have experienced at least one of them to a degree. I'm leaving this book with hope that I can be better and such an assurance of the Father's love and support. I love it!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This book is part of my collection that really focuses in on Biblical Commentary more than anything else (including some well known authors in the theological world). All of these books haven't been read cover to cover, but I've spent a lot of time with them and they've been helpful in guiding me through difficult passages (or if I desire to dig deeper).
