Boundaries: When to Say Yes, How to Say No to Take Control of Your Life

Wonderful book! Great book to recommend to others! So glad it was recommended to me!

This study is a great journey into understanding your own personal boundaries (or lack thereof), what signals to watch for when boundaries are ignored - or perhaps none are in place. I highly recommend this Christ based study.

I listened to this one on CD in my car and it was so jam-packed with good lessons I often had to pause or rewind to process the teachings, but I actually bought the hard copy to use as a reference because it was such a great book that I NEED to remember.

This is written from a Christian perspective but not overly preachy or evalengical...Excellent guidelines for boundary-setting.

Cloud and Townsend are very clear in their delivery of their thoughts but they unfortunately lack the ability to 'pull the trigger' and speak on the full authority of Scripture. While "Boundaries" is not a treatise on spiritual growth (and the authors clearly state that in more than one point) there's no reason why they can't go to the Scriptures more often as their source of wisdom rather than their oft quoted experience in the area of counseling and assisting people in developing boundaries in their lives. I have no problem with wise men giving advice as long as the root of such advice is based solely on the authority of Scripture for it and it alone is the solution to life's problems.   hide

An absolute MUST, MUST read if you want to understand how to live in healthy relationships that are not unbalanced, harmful, freedom-restricting, enabling, stifling, harmful, manipulative, draining, unfair, etc. . . . BUT SUPER-SUPER healthy. Contains much scripture support. LIFE-CHANGING and INCREDIBLY IMPACTFUL!

Starts off a little cheesy, but good concepts when you get further in...
