      Determination, courage, and integrity are the focus of this inspiring lesson on connecting with one's purpose in life. The author uses biblical references to invite people to quietly discover their own potentials, rather than tossing around lofty ideals or stirring up the alluring exclusivity one sometimes hears in Christian personal development audios. His five steps to personal meaning are developing confidence, being a person of character, concentrating on God's will, cooperating with God and others in carrying out His plans, and participating in community. Arthur Morey is a mature and sensitive interpreter of this message. The embodiment of the wisdom and humility that inform this writing, he makes the audio a deeply moving experience. T.W.

      Author and narrator Jim Graff describes how to live a life of purpose and godly self-esteem. Using an animated reading style, Graff draws on Old Testament illustrations of King David, from shepherd boy to warrior to king, to demonstrate his own theory of the "five keys of significance": confidence, character, concentration, cooperation, and community. Graff uses understatement and careful pacing to describe sin and its effects on a person's heart. His focus on godly self-worth offers a biblical viewpoint, as opposed to a position of secular humanism. This work shows the strong influence of bestselling author and pastor Joel Osteen. G.D.W.

      Graff struggled with significance as he pastored a small church in Texas, yet when a large urban church asked him to join their staff, he declined. He began to understand that struggling churches in small towns "had their own unique significance" and, perhaps more importantly, so did he. Graff, founder of the Significant Church Network, guides readers to new understanding of true significance and how to live significantly each day. King David, whose story is told in the Old Testament, is the basis for Graff's five keys to significance: confidence, character, concentration, cooperation and community. He speaks of partnering with others, recognizing motives and cultivating forgiveness, plus myriad other things. Graff applies these concepts to individuals in typical pastorlike fashion, with lots of stories, an animated voice, some repetition and occasionally annoying alliteration. Yet the knowledge gleaned from David's life, from shepherd boy to wandering warrior to king, helps bring readers' own search for significance into focus as Graff addresses the highs and lows of what that means. "We must pursue embracing the fullness of who God made us to be and then those gifts to serve others."
