"Many sincere, dedicated believers struggle with tremendous
confusion about when it is biblically appropriate to set limits. When confronted with their lack of boundaries, they raise good questions:
1. Can I set limits and still be a loving person?
2. What are legitimate boundaries?
3. What if someone is upset or hurt by my boundaries?
4. How do I answer someone who wants my time, love, energy, or
money?
5. Why do I feel guilty or afraid when I consider setting boundaries?
6. How do boundaries relate to submission?
7. Aren't boundaries selfish?
Misinformation about the Bible's answers to these issues has led to much wrong teaching about boundaries. Not only that, but many clinical psychological symptoms, such as depression, anxiety disorders, eating disorders, addictions, impulsive disorders, guilt problems, shame issues, panic disorders, and marital and relational struggles, find their root in conflicts with boundaries.
This book presents a biblical view of boundaries: what they are, what they protect, how they are developed, how they are injured, how to repair them, and how to use them. This book will answer the above questions and more. Our goal is to help you use biblical boundaries appropriately to achieve the relationships and purposes that God intends for you as his child. . . .
This book aims to help you see the deeply biblical nature of boundaries as they operate in the character of God, his universe, and his people."
SoAmazing Review:
In Boundaries, Cloud and Townsend tackle
the important issue of setting limits on ourselves and
others within a biblical framework of love and service.
If you are overwhelmed by the demands on your time,
energy and resources, you should read this book.
