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 Product Description: 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, mental boundaries give us the freedom to have our own thoughts, emotional boundaries help us to deal with our own emotions and spiritual boundaries help us to distinguish God's will from our own.

 Rating: - Where could I find full video for this course?This video is a little bit short than I want. Since I learn it by myself, do you have the full length time for this course? Rating: - I didn't think I had "boundary" issues...I didn't think I had "boundary" issues when my coach recommended that I read this book. I am not a push-over person, but a very goal oriented, driven individual. In fact, when I read the first chapter of "Boundaries", I thought the person described was definitely not like me! 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 ... Read More Rating:  - EmpoweringThis 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. Rating: - good serviceI recieved the book on time and as described. I wish they were clear that other mateials are needed with the book. Rating: - this book saved my life, literallyWhen I read it, I was just a few steps away from an emotional breakdown. My boundaries were so pour, so porous, that I was completely bankrupt of emotional resources, down to 100 pounds (from a healthy weight of 125), couldn't sleep, couldn't eat & was struggling with active suicidal ideation. The book helped me see where I was off - and gave me a road map how to regain myself. It was neither easy nor quick. It took about two years and a support group of caring connections - friends and family who ... Read More
