This book has provided a way to clearly discuss issues through its boundaries understandings that has facilitated some very good maturing and growing discussions. I now have verbal and mental tools to clearly talk through issues that had been very contentions and confused in the past.

This book was such a blessing to me. I have struggled to figure out why my relationships were not growing the way I desired. Discovering my lack of boundries answered so many questions for me. The tools in this book are highly valuable and I would recommend this book to everyone, especially those who grew up in a dysfunctional family.

People need to hear and be reassured it is OK to say no. Christians need to hear it is OK to be angry and that anger serves a purpose in our lives. I needed a reminder that it was OK for me to say no and that it was OK for me to be angry.
There is a lot of talk and opinions about “setting boundaries”. Many people need to be educated in order to understand boundaries, set healthy boundaries, and put them into action. This book meets that need. This book educates.
This book reminds Christians that there was more to Jesus personality than just making everyone happy and being sweet and encouraging all the time. Jesus got angry. Jesus confronted. Jesus set boundaries.
Are you like Jesus? Do you understand this part of his personality? Do you know “how” to be like him in confrontation, anger and boundaries? This book will give you the tools to help you grow in these areas of your life. It is a “must read”!

This book has helped me tremendously. I thank God for this resource. If you have grown up without setting boundaries/limits, read this book and you will be amazed at the growth that will take place. It is quite liberating to know how to set boundaries and you will begin to know truly how to love freely, selflessly.

We have used this set for several Bible Studies and each time the participants have grown and were encouraged. The study is extremely well-balanced and incorporates Biblical teaching with recovery themes to instruct us in healthy living.

Some set boundaries too loose, others set them to tight. The authors attempt to present a biblical perspective on balanced boundaries and how they affect the Christian life. You will also want to order • THE PRAYER OF HANNAH • by Kenn Gividen.
