Amazon.com Review
In order to call themselves good Christians, many people have drawn overly flexible boundaries (unwilling to say no, always accommodating others' needs) or overly rigid boundaries (to the point of being righteous and judgmental). Psychologists and inspirational speakers Cloud and Townsend show readers how to set reasonable boundaries in order to follow the true path of Christianity. This book has become immensely popular, most likely because it makes personal boundaries easier to define and is filled with spiritual purpose. Some cautions: the format can be overly self-helpish for such a complex discussion and the authors at one point imply that judicious spankings may be an acceptable form of setting boundaries with children. However, many Christians will probably find themselves grateful for this biblical context of boundaries. --Gail Hudson
Product Description
This audio version of the book presents a biblical treatment of boundaries, identifies how boundaries are developed, and how they become injured. It also shows Christian misconceptions of the function and purpose of boundaries and provides a program for developing and maintaining healthy limits. Read by Dick Fredricks.

 Boundaries is the icing on the cake of healing! October 6, 2008
From cover to cover Boundaries is a complete Christian handbook for discovering why God created boundaries and how to implement them into our lives. By following this guide many dysfunctional people will find a path to freedom and regain control of their lives. Boundaries are clearly defined in this book in all areas; physical, mental, emotional and spiritual. Using the steps in the book will bring new health to your relationships and lead to a walk of being the loving giving people God intended us to be. Having grown up in a dysfunctional family myself, I have to say that Boundaries is the icing on the cake of healing that God has served me and I will serve to others as well.
 BOOK SIZE IS A JOKE October 3, 2008
0 out of 2 found this review helpful
I am sorely disappointed!!! It was not clear to me that I was getting a book that is about 1 inch by 1 inch. I don't order books often and didn't know that I needed to confirm it was full-sized. I wish it had been made more clear. I waited nearly two weeks for it to arrive and now I'm not sure I'll even be able to read it because it is so TINY!

Applying the principles in this book literally changed my life and healed so many relationships in my life. It's Biblically sound and focuses on enabling people to live the life that God intended.
Not a Doormat anymore September 18, 2008
I read this book a few months ago and the advice it gave me was absolutely amazing. I had worked at a job for almost four years where I was the office doormat, but the last year that I worked at the job it was becoming really out of hand. I had always stepped up to the plate and did way more than my fair share of the work around the office, but in the last year I worked there my boss informed me that one of my co-workers was not doing her work appropriately and I needed to do her job until he "figured out what to do". Well for eight months I did my job and this other person's job, I had five minute lunches as I tried to get everything done. My co-worker would come in my office and go on and on about how this was the easiest job she had ever had in her life. She started bringing in lists of things to look up on the internet because she told me she ran out of things to look up. My boss sat in his office and read all day and when I would go in to talk to him about the situation he would continue reading and wouldn't even look up at me. One day I came in early before work and told him that I was BURNED OUT! He said okay and had the co-worker do her old job for 3 days and then that was the end of it, and he had me start doing her job again. Well I put in a month notice and I quit, and after I quit they fired the co-worker because she couldn't do the job. I was always the good Christian that kept my mouth shut and did what I was told, but guess what God doesn't want you to be a doormat. He wants you to be loving and humble, but you are not responsible for someone else. I have read so so so many Christian books about the importance of being humble and to just persevere through tough challenges, but this was the first Christian book that let me know it is okay to stand up for yourself.
Think twice about critical reviews... September 17, 2008
From what I've read, it doesn't seem like those with the critical reviews haven't really read the whole book. In a society that's increasingly tolerant and co-dependent, though, I can see people resisting the truth and freedom this book offers. Let me tell you. I first read "Boundaries" over 10 years ago, when I was suffering from Major Depression in college. This book provided the way out. It has played a major role in my life ever since. I have the most amazing marriage now, and my husband and other close friends have found amazing freedom from as we read & re-read this book. We are healthy, and we are happy, but keeping "Boundaries" in the world we live in can be a challenge and takes practice... but it's worth it, as scripture always is. I'm grateful the author's aren't afraid to be true to God's Word.
