Good Boundaries and Goodbyes: Audio Bible Studies

Loving Others Without Losing the Best of Who You Are

By: Lysa TerKeurst

Narrated by: Lysa TerKeurst

Length: 2 hrs and 29 mins

Publisher's summary

Love should draw us together, not tear us apart.

Is it unloving or selfish to set a boundary? And what does the Bible instruct us to do when a relationship is no longer safe or sustainable? Lysa TerKeurst has asked these hard questions in the midst of her own relational struggles.

But after thousands of hours of counseling intensives and theological research, Lysa has discovered that good boundaries pave the road for the truest version of love to emerge within the relationships that make up so much of who we are and what we want the most.

Building upon and further unpacking the scriptural concepts in Good Boundaries and Goodbyes, this six-session audio Bible study with Lysa will equip you to:

• Determine the appropriate amount of personal and emotional access someone has to you.
• Stop being misled and emotionally paralyzed by wrongly interpreted or weaponized Scriptures.
• Overcome the frustrating cycle of ineffective boundary-setting with biblical principles and practical strategies to help you communicate, keep, and implement healthier patterns.
• Be equipped to say goodbye when a relationship has shifted from difficult to destructive by studying three types of goodbyes found in God’s Word.
• Receive therapeutic and theological wisdom you can trust directly from Lysa’s Christian counselor, Jim Cress, and Proverbs 31 Ministries’ Director of Theology, Dr. Joel Muddamalle.

Good Convo

Relatable and good convo. Just reminded to embrace the hard. Possibly needs two reads to fully grasp or hear tips.

A good start to an inward healing journey!

Looking forward to getting a physical copy of this book to begin the process of working through all she talked through. Good for anyones circumstances. A must read and do for all Christians!!

Greatest

Answers so many questions. Relieves guilt when people think they know what the Bible says.

I needed this!

My therapist recommended this book to me. I am in the midst of a divorce from my covert, narcissist, and I am mourning a loss, even though he has put me through so much and it is still a loss. I will relisten to this again, and thank you Miss Lisa you have inspired me.

Helped me through trial with in-laws

This has helped me establish healthy boundaries without fear that I’m in the wrong. I’m learning to be graceful but stand up for myself, thank you!

Great Book!

Very good and inspiring. The author is very honest and outreaching. Loved it! Liked the author reading and her honesty.

Not a good fit for me

For me, it triggered me. It seemed like it got our two book clubs focused on yuck instead of the goodness of God. While it was a huge blessing to my best friend, who loves it. To me it is the opposite of the main lessons that I am learning from God, and was more of a stumbling block. Boundaries are important & for some this book will be great. For me is was not. I'm learning "if a soldier makes you carry his things one mile, carry them two." I'm also learning to listen to the Holy Spirit. There is still a place for planning in that, but it's not a focus for me.
