Resumen del Editor

Christians often focus so much on being loving and unselfish that they forget their own limitations, allowing others to take advantage of their kindness. Authors Drs. Henry Cloud and John Townsend offer Biblically-based ways to take control of your life and set healthy boundaries with parents, spouses, children, friends, coworkers, and even yourself.

Using the case history of a fictional woman named Sherrie, Drs. Cloud and Townsend illustrate her growth from living with virtually no limitations to applying boundaries with others in her life. In the process, they answer many difficult questions, teaching us how to set limits but still be loving, identify our legitimate boundaries, and say no without feeling guilty. Boundaries is an essential guide for Christians who want to increase their assertiveness without sacrificing the ideals of the Scriptures.

This is the short version

This was good, but if you want to read the actual book and listen along, this audible version is not the full book.

Setting Adult Boundaries

The narrators spoke well. I had no trouble making out what they were saying. The first 2 chapters were more about setting boundaries with children. The last two were more about setting boundaries as adults. These are more to what I, as an adult, need to work on. I will reread the last two chapters so I can work on setting my personal boundaries with the Lord's help.

story association and biblical references

Like most authors, this book told me 'I am the problem' and it told me 'how the problem developed' or things that enable bad behaviors. However, there was no homework and no direct references for HOW to correct the problem. This is a common narrativ, so I am not surprised. Otherwise, it was well written and entertaining.

Wow

Something here for everyone. Only wish I had read earlier in life. Essential for any hope of a healthy relationship.

worth the time

Very benificial listen. Rich with insight. This audio book gave me insight into what was happening with my boss and also what was happening with one of my children.

Timely!!

This book was recommend to me by my counselor and others in my life. I needed the encouragement while I learned to exercise healthy boundaries with people!

Wonderful Subject Matter

Very meaningful...I have learned a great deal about myself and my relationships. I hope to see the fruits of it in my life.

Excellent book!

This is the book for all of us in this day of multi-tasking and exhaustion. It is a book on how to cope with being a people pleaser and running on empty! I loved it and and its accompanying workbook. It includes biblical references and is a wonderfully written book by two experts! Please read it right away -- your life may depend on it.

This is an important informative book.

Any additional comments?

I needed to hear this book and know the information presented. I think this book is great.

finish worthy

This book started off a little sluggish for me and I struggled with whether or not I would make it through. I made the decision to continue and it finished rather strong. I gained valuable insight into the behavior of those around me, but more importantly, into areas that I need to change. May you have even more success.
