Having clear boundaries is essential to a healthy, balanced lifestyle. A boundary is a personal property line that marks those things for which we are responsible. In other words, boundaries define who we are and who we are not. Boundaries impact all areas of our lives: Physical boundaries help us determine who may touch us and under what circumstances — Mental boundaries give us the freedom to have our own thoughts and opinions — Emotional boundaries help us to deal with our own emotions and disengage from the harmful, manipulative emotions of others — Spiritual boundaries help us to distinguish God’s will from our own and give us renewed awe for our Creator — Often, Christians focus so much on being loving and unselfish that they forget their own limits and limitations. When confronted with their lack of boundaries, they ask: – Can I set limits and still be a loving person? – What are legitimate boundaries? – What if someone is upset or hurt by my boundaries? – How do I answer someone who wants my time, love, energy, or money? – Aren’t boundaries selfish? – Why do I feel guilty or afraid when I consider setting boundaries? Dr. Henry Cloud and Dr. John Townsend offer biblically-based answers to these and other tough questions, showing us how to set healthy boundaries with our parents, spouses, children, friends, co-workers, and even ourselves.

Turning my life around
By A Customer
As a Christian, I continually struggled with feeling depressed from being a doormat, and being nice because it was “part of the abundant Christian life.” Everyone spoke about Christianity as being a joyful, full life that I would love and never want to return to the secular world. Then why did I feel so miserable? Why did the secular world seem so appealing, where I could be as nasty and selfish as I wanted to?The answer was in “Boundaries”. As I read the book, I could identify with something in every chapter. I’m the type of person who will let everyone else step all over me to keep themselves happy. As long as I didn’t raise a ruckus, and the peace was kept, everything was okay, right? WRONG! Inside I was always seething with anger, and I was livid with the fact that I had to continually step out of the way for everyone else while they ran right over me.Through reading this book, I realized that it’s OK to set boundaries in all interactions; in fact, I now believe that it would be wrong NOT to set boundaries in things. Slowly but surely, with the help from this book’s message, I’ve been setting boundaries for a happier life that’s filled with more peace, joy, and abundance than ever.

This Book–> The Pencil That Will Help You Draw the Lines
By K.W.
Wow, why didn’t I ever know about this book? You don’t hear much about it- I stumbled upon it browsing around Amazon one day. For people wondering if they should buy this book, get it if:-you’re not turned off by a Christian writing approach-you feel like there’s a problem because you’re trying to be a good person all the time by always saying “yes”In a nutshell, this book is for people who don’t know how to set boundaries for themselves. In other words, they’re always saying “yes” to things and taking responsibility for things- even when it’s not their job.And boundary lines of your responsibilities need to be present in more areas of your life than you might realize, such as…-your family-your friends-your mate-your kids-your selfThe book covers boundary conflicts in each of these areas leaving no stone unturned. Therefore, its no big deal if you have only one or two problem areas- just go to those sections.This book will help you realize what a boundary is, why it’s okay to have them and just how to develop them. So if anything in this review sounds like if might apply to you- don’t hesitate to check out the book. Other neat self-help books I liked include “Finding Happiness in a Frustrating World”.

Excellent Self-Help Guide for men & women of all ages
By DAWN STERN
I found Boundaries to be extremely helpful to me and my family. The authors point to Biblical references for boundary development & enforcement. The authors also illustrate real-life examples of people who have boundary issues and give practical advice on how to resolve conflicts in all relationships…parent-child, spouse-spouse, friend-friend, etc. I firmly believe that this book is vital for people who desire to have Godly, healthy relationships. When my children are mature enough to read & understand this book, I will definitely encourage them to read it. I believe that it will be helpful for my children as they prepare for adulthood and also as they begin searching for a mate. I highly recommend this book for everyone who is in the midst of relationship trials & tribulations.
