Lots of biblical references

LOTS of biblical references which may be a deal breaker for some and often would be for me but in this case it was fine which just goes to show what a well written book it was and what a great message!

PHENOMENAL!!!!!

TRULY! THIS BOOK IS A MUST READ/LISTEN. I PURCHASED THE HARD COPY BUT HAD TO THEN BUY THE AUDIBLE DUE TO MY HECTIC SCHEDULE. NEVERTHELESS, IT WAS WORTH EVERY PENNY! I THANK GOD FOR TEACHING US HOW TO LOVE OURSELVES AS WE SIMULTANEOUSLY LOVE OTHERS THROUGH HEALTHY BOUNDARIES. THANKS BE TO GOD FOR USING THESE AUTHORS AS VESSELS FOR SHARING HIS WORD! 🙏

Highly Recommended!

This book has a ton of great messages and ideas about boundaries. I haven’t put their advice to the test yet, but I hope to in the future. My only complaint about this book is it may be unsuitable for people who have an aversion to religion or Christianity, but at the same time, this book can allow a different perspective for Christians without compromising their devotion to the Bible.

Cathartic

This is an incredible book. it held up a mirror for me to understand what I needed to change, to help me set boundaries for myself and subsequently for those in my life.

narrator's voice is pleasant and the book is read slowly enough just grasp the concepts within. I am starting from the beginning again. I very much recommended.
