Relationships are wonderful . . . until they’re not. Join #1 New York Times bestselling author Lysa TerKeurst as she helps you stop the dysfunction of unhealthy relationships by showing you biblical ways to set boundaries–and, when necessary, say goodbye–without losing the best of who you are. Is it unloving or selfish to set a boundary? Are Christians ever called to walk away from a relationship that’s no longer safe or sustainable? Lysa TerKeurst deeply understands these hard questions in the midst of relational struggles. But after thousands of hours of counseling intensives and extensive theological research that transformed the way she defined healthy relationships, Lysa is now more committed than ever to loving people well without losing the best of who she is. She wants to help you do the same. In these pages Lysa will help you: Understand the five factors to remember when implementing healthy boundaries. Determine the appropriate amount of personal and emotional access someone has to you based on how responsible they’ll be with that access. Stop being misled and emotionally paralyzed by wrongly interpreted or weaponized scriptures that perpetuate unhealthy dynamics in difficult relationships. Overcome the frustrating cycle of ineffective boundary-setting with realistic scripts and practical strategies to help you communicate, keep, and implement healthier patterns. Be equipped to say goodbye without guilt when a relationship has shifted from difficult to destructive and is no longer sustainable. Receive therapeutic wisdom you can trust directly from Lysa’s Christian counselor Jim Cress, who weighs in throughout the book. You’ll be relieved to learn that boundaries aren’t just a good idea, they’re a God idea.

This book is a fantastic resource for any person who would like to bring health and peace to your life. It is NOT a book on how to “fix” your relationships or a book on divorce. It gives a healthy biblical perspective on how to set and keep boundaries, unfortunately something that many Christian circles have failed to encourage a “good christian woman” to do, especially when it comes to disfunctional marriages, toxic family members, or life sucking friendships. I would recommend this book to anyone who would like to reinforce or learn that boundaries are what keep your relationships healthy and you in a place of peace. I am reading this book in our women’s Bible study class and it has been challenging and eye opening for each one of ladies. We have all found areas to grow in our lives and walk with Jesus.

Did a Bible study on this book where we bought the study guide but did not “need” the book. The guide is insightful BUT the book is indispensable . Provides biblical references to explain how Jesus handled situations similar to ours, Biblical quotes to support Christian actions, and Biblical quotes regarding how God wants us to act. Excellent!!!

As a codependent person and an adult child of an alcoholic, I’ve read and learned a lot through the years. This book is well written and is a great reminder. I especially liked the Christian/Biblical references as I endeavor to be a Christ Follower.

I’ve not experienced the trauma of divorce as Lysa has, but I’ve been betrayed by trusted friends. I’ve always tried to be helpful to others but found that without proper boundaries their dysfunctional actions were affecting me – and I had to walk away.
