Created for Significance [EPUB ebook] 
Discovering Our Human Core Longings, Who Defines Us, and How We Reverse Identity Theft

We need answers—answers that are sure and dependable, answers that
bring goodness and contentment. Today, perhaps more than ever before,
the human condition has been confused and in turmoil. We are longing
for essential aspects to fulfi ll our needs, but often fall short of the true fulfi llment.
We are created with core longings that were designed to be ultimately fulfi lled by
God. However, we have been hurt by bad relationships, abuse and neglect, unfulfi lled
promises, and shortcomings of our own contrived pursuits. As we begin the Created
For series, we will introduce these six core longings and begin with the focus on
signifi cance. My prayer is that you will fi nd healing for your soul and restoration for
your spirit.
“Dr. Robert Shaw has spent his life in the people-helping business. He has a unique
ability to key in on the many dynamics of the human condition and the biblical answers
that can help individuals become all that God truly intends them to be. In this work,
he introduces and expounds upon human core longings: love, signifi cance, security,
understanding, purpose, and belonging. In a culture that has become narcissistic and
driven by ‘what’s in it for me, ’ Dr. Shaw reveals what it means to live a truly meaningful
life based on identifying and honoring these God-given core longings. In your quest
for the experience of the truth as revealed in Scripture and most importantly in Christ,
this work will provide you with a clear pathway to genuine satisfaction from the inside
out in a way that brings glory to the One who created you for eternal signifi cance.”

capacity to write with a full measure of the spiritual savvy to discern and articulate
