A Note from the Authors

Just as homeowners set physical property lines around their land, we need to set mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual boundaries for our lives to help us distinguish what is our responsibility and what is not. The inability to set appropriate boundaries at appropriate times with the appropriate people can be very destructive.

Misinformation about what the Bible says about boundaries can also be destructive. To counter such wrong thinking, this study guide and the accompanying text present 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. As you read the book and work through this guide, you will find answers to your questions—and more. In fact, our goal is to help you use biblical boundaries appropriately to achieve the relationships and purposes that God intends for you as you grow in him.

Editorial Reviews

From the Back Cover

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 and under what circumstances -- Mental boundaries give us the freedom to have our own thoughts and opinions -- Emotional boundaries help us to deal with our own emotions and disengage from the harmful, manipulative emotions of others -- Spiritual boundaries help us to distinguish God's will from our own and give us renewed awe for our Creator -- Often, Christians focus so much on being loving and unselfish that they forget their own limits and limitations. When confronted with their lack of boundaries, they ask: - Can I set limits and still be a loving person? - What are legitimate boundaries? - What if someone is upset or hurt by my boundaries? - How do I answer someone who wants my time, love, energy, or money? - Aren't boundaries selfish? - Why do I feel guilty or afraid when I consider setting boundaries? Dr. Henry Cloud and Dr. John Townsend offer biblically-based answers to these and other tough questions, showing us how to set healthy boundaries with our parents, spouses, children, friends, co-workers, and even ourselves.

Bible study guide, not a secular guide to better boundaries
1 out of 5 stars
Bible study guide, not a secular guide to better boundaries
This is not a book for secular or corporate leaders or individuals. This is a Bible study guide for those who take the Bible literally and think the Bible is the best guide and advice for mental health. The cover does not say that this is a Bible study guide. I took this picture at random to show a friend how the book is really a way for Christians to try to work out their cognitive dissonance with 21st century mental health practices and a Bronze Age collection of inconsistent stories that they think they need to believe literally.Enough people have religious trauma that the authors should not be trying to sneak their religious views in under this totally normal-looking cover. They should be upfront about the evangelical Christian nature of their book and work to reach their target audience.So many of these books sold and placed right in the trash. I'll be returning mine and getting Brene Brown: another Christian author who is able to translate to a wider, secular audience.

    I used the workbook as I read the book and found it a vastly enriching experience. Reading each section of the book then journaling through the questions in the workbook helped me to really dig in and process what I read, and see how to apply it to my life. I’m glad I bought and used it along with the book!

    This is an important book for those who are Christians but have questions or concerns about how to handle those parts of your life that may be confusing. I would suggest this to any new Christian. HOWEVER, I ONLY suggest this book if you will read this with someone else or a bible study group. It takes the reader on a heavy handed walk at looking at one’s self, therefore it is necessary for the safety of your heart to do this with some else.

    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 15, 2025
    I loved this work book on boundaries. As the Christian faith teaches its following to love ones neighbour.. this book explains that setting boundaries is not wrong for a Christian and that setting boundaries is actually healthy for both parties involved. A lovely readable book with space for the readers own thoughts.

    I made the mistake of purchasing this book as I was looking for a resource on boundaries for my work as a counsellor. The workbook is just a bunch of biblical versus and is completely useless. Unless you are looking for a religious text, I would not recommend.
