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
Is your life out of control?
Do people take advantage of you?
Do you have trouble saying no?
Christians often focus so much on being loving and unselfish that they forget their own limitations. Have you ever found yourself wondering:
* Can I set limits and still be a loving person?
* What are my legitimate boundaries?
* How do I answer someone who wants my time, love, energy, or money?
* Why do I feel guilty when I consider setting boundaries?
Drs. Henry Cloud and John Townsend give you biblically based answers to these and other tough questions, showing you how to set healthy boundaries with parents, spouses, children, friends, coworkers, and even with yourself.
You’ll see vital principles of boundaries at work as Drs. Cloud and Townsend take you through a day in the life of "Sherrie"--first as she lives with almost no boundaries, then as she begins to apply proper boundaries with others in her life.

More practical than I expected November 29, 2008
I wasn't expecting much, but instead I was pleasantly surprised, if you love reading all sorts of different perspectives on behavior/motivation and such, it's definitely worth a try. I would also recommend, Tao Cycle Therapy: Natural Happiness via Self Directed Cure for Chronic Anxiety & Depression [Updated 2008 3nd Edition]
 God's truth is always good November 27, 2008
We all need to learn healthy bouderies to let good people in & keep unhealthy people out. Good "how to" book.
 Boundaries November 27, 2008
Great explaination of the constant struggle to maintain a healty border in your life. Let the good in and the bad out. Detailed explaination and easy read. Like any other book, not a instant life "fixer" but does have application to a better you.
if you get past the beginning its really helpful!! November 22, 2008
the beginning was kinda slow, but once you get passsed it, it had really helpful and pertinent information in a much easier format.
book is perfect for anyone with boundry issues and even not October 21, 2008
for those like me who think God left it up to me to do his work and for others who just don't know how to keep someone out of their space, this book is perfect. it was a life changer for me. now i just remind myself "boundries" and know that God didn't leave me in charge down here, that he is in charge and working on al situations. it let me know that i am interfering with his work. i can now sleep at night knowing that he is in charge and that it's not up to me to fix up everyones lives
