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 wh

Amazon.com Review
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

clear, affirming March 20, 2010
N. R. Evans (Nebraska, US)
This book was one of my first downloads for my new Kindle. It is a very good read, soothing and affirming. The clear message is that God does not expect us to be doormats for others, nor does he expect us to use anyone else as our own doormat. The authors lead the reader through Biblically supported principles. I like the way the book is arranged by boundary themes, which makes it easy to go back for repeat support when needed.

A must read March 19, 2010
J. Johnson (Taunton, Massachusetts, United States)
Every Christian should read this book...then read it once a year for ever after. Just about any relationship issue is dealt with in this book with clear insight on how to resolve the issue.

"Mini" Boundaries March 18, 2010
J. Frahmann (Buffalo, NY)
It's a great little book, but I wish the word MINIATURE had been bold or highlighted as I was expecting the full version.

I didn't know the book was a TINY condensed copy of the original. I guess I missed that description on the Amazon site.

Changed my life and everyone around me March 9, 2010
Kerri (CA United States)
Boundaries works in every area of your life. Many people focus on changing others through trying to control others which, never works and only makes everyone miserable. Boundaries teaches you to control only your own life, what you're will to accept or not accept and in turn it makes everyone around you responsible for their own life. Your kids will have a higher self esteem, they will become more responsible, they will be happier, and your relationships will be better than ever with everyone you choose to keep in your life, whether it be an out of control child, a judgemental parent or spouse, a controlling person in your life. The list goes on.

P.S. Overly controlling men do not want their spouse or girlfriend to get a hold of this book. It would do them a lot of good to read the book but highly unlikely. If you want to weed out a control freak just have this book lying around and wait for the negative comments to start coming out.
