Editorial ReviewOffers guidelines on how to recognize and establish healthy boundaries, while providing assistance on how to deal with such issues as disappointing others, saying no, and overcoming fear and guilt. Reprint. 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

It took the help of an excellent coach, using this book, to help me uncover the truth about myself.
Since I was so "strong" I tried to carry others burdens that were not meant for me to carry. I hated asking for help. My... more info
- Empowering
This book is great for those of us who do not know how to set boundaries with others in our lives. It is empowering to know you have the right (and obligation) to control your own life. Stop blaming others, stop being filled with guilt, take back your life.
