Publisher's summary

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 this book 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.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Biblical Boundaries

Lysa Terkeurst is a Christian author who assists Christians in setting Biblical boundaries. Jim Cress is a Christian counselor who helps Christians with healing, showing them that doing so is biblical,.

I couldn’t imagine that Amazon would permit others to leave negative reviews because a religious author wrote a religious book if any the religion was anything other than Christianity.

Exceptional profound and timely!

Lysa did her thang with this book! She is transparent and vulnerable with personal testimonies, supportive and genuinely concerned with helping others set health boundaries, and she is firm and to the point with knowing when to end toxic relationships.

Therapy for everyone!

Loved it! This is not just about married couples but relationship with everyone….who knew the reason I struggled with relationships was because I did not have boundaries. Thank you for shedding light on how as women the word of God has been weaponized against us.

Grounded Godly Wisdom that Combats Misconceptions

If you need to understand what Biblical boundaries are and how to use them to create a healthier life, this book will not disappoint. This has the best explanations I’ve seen across a number of books on the subject.

Better than other boundry books

I appreciate her coming from a standpoint of "I am still learning too" instead of most books where the attitude is "I have already arrived" It was very informative on a personal level. I definitely recommend

So very helpful

For anyone looking for clarity and guidance, please read. The author speaks from heartbreaking experience; and, guides the reader with supporting scripture that is coupled with professional insight from her own Christian counselor.

Healing

To say this gave me peace would be an understatement. I found this book at such a profound time in my life and this has helped foster healing in many realms of my health and relationships. Thank you ❤️
